I have the zobot viruses and i believe it has infected my a drive and possibly my d drive. I run windows xp, and i am not sure how to get it into ms-dos mode or safe mode in order to run the norton antivirus emergency diskettes. Any help would be very much appreciated.I'm not familiar with Norton products, but to get into Safe Mode with all Windows O/S's, you can press the 'Function 8' or 'F8' KEY when your computer is first starting up, usually right after the BIOS screen. Just keep pressing F8 every second (time measurement, that is, 1 time per second) about 10 times & you'll get a boot menu, from which you use your up/down arrows to select 'Safe Mode', then press enter, press it again if you have to. You will go to a screen that tells you're in Safe Mode.

I use a Win98 bootdisk (floppy) to get into DOS.If you have a virues then why do you need DOS? If you put the floppy in it should run it, but I wouldn;t use emergency rescue disk because of one VIRUS unless it damage windows some how. I would just run scan clean it all up or use McAfee stinger program to get rid of it. If it is still there then google the name of the virus someone who have time to KILL will tell you how to remove it from MS-DOS in boot modeThe reason I need dos is because the computer shuts down after 1 MINUTE every time you log in. There is no time to do anything. It will not boot from A or D drive because this virus has infected those drives. Somehow I need to get around it.Well on startup if you have a startup disk. http://www.bootdisk.com you get get into MS-DOS that way. If you know how to run the floppy from there then it should be FINE. Your floppy should start automatically on startup. Check your boot sequence it should say A:/ first so it should run floppy first
