My Windows Me computer was hit with trojans. Removed all but one. It ended
up turning restore system back on and putting itself in folder. protected
all the files and using goback, it changed the master ide controller. It
also changed environments .

I tried to run hp recovery cd's and am told i have no hard drive or loose
cables. I want to be able to reinstall operating system as it renamed all
the files in restore folder. i can use this computer but i have no control
over it. Needless to say antivirus program will not work that was first
program it took over, then zone alarm , and go back. I tried deleting the
vxd driver it has in there that is not signed by microsoft, and it stopped
windows from loading in (stayed on splash screen). I had to use go back to
go back to prior setting.

go back of course will not work to go back to settings prior to the master
ide controller change. I have tried to change thru device manager and it
tells me i have the best already installed.

any help other then a fdisk format greatly appreciated.
