Guys I'm back another issue

Hmmm....didn't you reset your bios or something to get the display card running? I seem to remember something about that. Am I correct or am I remembering something else?

i didnt but my mate did becos it could not boot from my hard drive it said operating system was not available but then i think my friend reset the boot sequence and he said it probably went of cos my card was not inserted properly
 
I suspect along with the BIOS reset, a setting of some sort went out the window as well. I'm thinking actually, that he might've switched the USB ports to 1.1 instead of 2.0, which would explain why they can't pick up external storage greater than ~2gb (I'm willing to bet your flash stick is 4+gb) correctly. I could get all technical and stuff and explain why they can't, but I'll just wait for you to confirm that your flash stick is indeed 4+gb in size. Then I'll gloat and proceed to not be able to tell you how to fix it, because I don't know what your BIOS looks like.
Should you have a 1gb flash stick or whatever, that doesn't work, ignore what I said above and pretend I'm awesome anyway.

dude i tried my 250gb external harddrive and i tried a 1gb stick :D
 
A 1gb stick and it doesn't work? Try formatting the stick and then trying again. After backing up whatever's on it, of course.

You need to Boot with your Norton360 CD, it should have one or other form of Linux on it OR download a recovery CD from BitDefender or Kaspersky and boot with that, scan your system and that will kill all the viruses and trojans on your system.

These are free:

http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/ (uses Knoppix)
http://dnl-eu10.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/RescueDisk/ (uses Gentoo)

If you have dial up or internet via ethernet, both disks should be able to update to the latest definitions over the internet once booted up.

If you're a Norton 360 customer you should also be able to download their recovery CD.

You will need to download one of these files and then use a DVD/CD burning program to burn a bootable DVD/CD. The program which came with your DVD-burner, CD-burner, laptop such as Nero or Roxio Creator will do this for you. The files above are ISO disk images and your burning program should recognise them and burn a CD or DVD from them, you can use either a CD-R disk or a DVD-R disk. Make sure to choose the disk image option on your program, don't just copy the file onto the blank disk. Then boot your machine from that disk and allow the program to scan your whole computer.

You should ideally use a clean system to burn such an image onto a CD-R or DVD-R.

Afterwards you'll need to scan all USB sticks and external drives too, but once you've cleaned your system and enabled real time protection from Norton360.

To boot from your DVD/CD drive, you'll need to change the BIOS settings for booting - put the DVD/CD drive in first place ahead of your system drive.
 
Remember once a virus, rootkit or trojan is in memory, it's very difficult to kill it. You need to boot from a bootable disk OR remove your computer's harddrive and attach it to another system via USB, FW, ESATA or SATA. Make sure another drive is booting up and that drive is clean and is protected by an up-to-date AV solution.

It's usually not necessary to format infected drives, just scan them with the latest product, but you need to have booted from something else.

Both DVDs have a Linux based file browser (file manager) - Midnight Commander for the BD and something else for the other disc. They look like Explorer.

Use them to browse to the folder in question - starting from the root (top)
(I gather system root is the drive where Windows is installed) and zap the
offending file (zap = delete).

Also have you tried updating the definitions once you booted up?
If that fails, you can download the latest definitions for BD or Kaspersky (while in Windows)
and put them on a USB stick or leave them on the harddrive - then tell Recovery CD to use them to update to the latest definitions, there is an option like that for people who don't have internet access.

The BD recovery CD also has a rootkit checker application.
