[QUOTE="Birna, post: 184621, member: 21236"] I started by following your step by step guide but for some reason my laptop will not let me into System Restore. When I power up the computer I start pressing F8 but this comes up : Smart Failure predicted on hard disk 4 : Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00-(S1) Warning : Immediately back-up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure might be imminent. Press F1 to continue. I press F1 because that's the only thing I can do and start pressing F8 again. Then it gives me the Advanced Boot options. After I select [B]Safe Mode with Command Prompt, [/B]it runs through a list of drivers I think and then sends me directly to the blue welcome screen for Windows where it shuts down and the she reboots all over. I do not have access to another laptop where I can download the software needed to get rid of this virus as shown as alternatives. I am not really a tech savvy person and I don't know anyone that is. I have an old Dell Inspiron 1501 run by Windows 7 Ultimate. 32 bit I think (if that helps). When starting the laptop, I have always gotten a black screen with gray letters reading : Warning : the battery can not be identified. This system will not be able to charge this battery. Press Any key to continue. Press <F2> 2 times to enter setup Press <F12> and Any key to enter Boot Menu I've always pressed Enter and I can use it as normal as long as the laptop is plugged in. Please help me! :( [/QUOTE]
