How to remove viruses from an inoperable OS (XP)?
I’ve never run into this problem, but my sister supposedly has a virus on her XP box, and I’m really not sure how to help her. The bootloader works fine, but upon selecting a user, does not display any icons or any sort of interface. Pressing the power button seems to call up the ‘shut down’ display on xp.
What virus, if any, might this be? What are some possible solutions that don’t involve me manually backing up and reinstalling everything? (I can run a live linux cd and mount the HD)
NOTE: there is NO anti-virus installed on this machine.

Install Linux Mint 7 from virtual box?
I recently downloaded an .iso file of the new Mint 7 Gloria so that I could try it out. I was able to mount the file onto a virtual drive, so that I didn’t need to make a Live CD. Then I was able to play Mint 7 by using Sun xVM Virtual Box, and it was able to run fairly well.
Because of this, I want to run a dual boot of Mint 7 and Wondows Vista . But the question is: Can I install Mint onto my computer by using the methods stated earlier? Answers would be appreciated.
I’m guessing Wubi works with Mint since it’s based off of Ubuntu; right?

What Linux distribution has a Live CD with nVidia Graphics support AND nForce network support out of the box?
I need a Linux Live CD that will boot into a GUI supporting at least 1024×768 resolution on an nVidia graphics card, and auto-recognizes nForce4 6150 gigabit ethernet NIC. So far, all of the ones that I try fail one or the other. I’ve tried pendrivelinux, ubuntu, and slax. No love.
I don’t need 3D support, just higher resolution than 800×600 that the other distro’s boot into.
Unfortunately, the control panel applet doesn’t allow higher resolution than 800×600, probably because it always boots with the VESA driver. Why won’t it use the built in nv driver?
