I'm not sure this belongs to this section, but I give it a go.
My computer is a Dell Optiplex 755.
Yesterday I tried to reformat my computer with a xp CD because I felt it was infected with crap. I did the usual stuff, got through the blue window when the Pc froze. Pressing the alt+ctrl didnt help so I had the pc shut down by holding down the start button for a few mins, I then start it up again but this time windows couldn't complete running, it would only load halfway and the stop:

. I have tried using other xp cds but the same blue screen comes up b4 windows could completely load and start installing.
I tried pressing "Press F6 if you have to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver". But with no result.
So I figured what the heck, lets install linux. I have two different Linuxes, Debian and ubuntu. When I tried to install ubuntu I received this message:
Quote:
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-2ubuntu3) Built-in shell (ash)
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
|
..and when i tried with Debian it stops with
Quote:
"Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-Rom was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again"

The odd thing is that it is inserted.
Now I used google to search for the first problem and came here

Now I don't really know what to do, can it be a Boot-Sector Virus ..and how do I remove it?
Now to the very Important thing, I don't want xp in my computer, I want Linux Ubuntu. So how do I continue from the ubuntu message I received?
