My dad had a virus crash his computer recently, i took his hard drive out of his computer and did a virus scan in mine, found a bunch of junk and deleted the viruses, put the hard drive back in my dads computer and it starts up but you cant see the programs list and there are some other bugs, i tried to create a bootable cd from a downloaded version of windows xp home that works on this computer but i cant get it to load up on my dads, i tried both an .ISO format with magic iso and a data format using the windows burning program. i took his computer to my house to try and fix it and now the keyboard and mouse will not work when windows starts to load (keyboard and mouse did at his house), only during bios does it work, was wondering if there was a way to get it to load from disc, i already selected the cd rom as first boot priority but i never get an option to load anything from disk. Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
