hi

My freind has a PC that when loading get to the first
windows loading stage then returns to Dos and on pressing
a key shuts down. Have he got a virus and if so can I
short cut windows and go straight into dos to fix the
problem.

Thanks

Alan
 
Windows XP is not based on DOS, therefore you cannot boot into DOS.
A severely virus-infected computer that refuses to boot usually requires
a "clean install" which entails reformatting the drive.
