I'm working on a laptop here and it was infected with a virus called "THINKPOINT."
I'm pretty savvy on virus removals, booted to safe mode, malwarebytes, found 2 infections.
Reboot, and BAM 0x07B bloodscreen.
I've seen this maybe 4 times before, after a few hours of research i cave in and just format. But this time is different, because the user has a mission critical program that cannot be lost, yes, she doesn't have a backup.
So anyway steps i've tried so far.
Boot to safe mode, none work.
Scan with Avira recovery disc - found 2 but didn't fix.
Replaced atapi.sys - no change.
There is 1 system restore point, i will try that after i have room in my computer to slave.
I don't want to run a repair install, it seems to just cause problems every time i do that on one of these cases.
OS is windows XP
Thanks for the help!
You may want to do the normal, insert windows disc and try to repair it. Run CHKDSK /r and SFC /Scannow
Good Luck
