My PC's infected by whatever spyware or viruses and they have changed my C-drive's name to the following: http://img27.exs.cx/img27/200/c3bo.jpg I need to know either: A) The codes on how to get that name in DOS or B) How to change the name of my C-drive And for god sake, make it quick dammit
jon_hill987 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Which operating system are you running?
El Sitherino Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Type this - format C: Your problem should be solved.

El Sitherino Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Well if your drive is that unprotected that you can't change it within the OS, you might as well just format your drive, reinstall the OS and start anew.

matt-- Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 In DOS: `label c:` If I were you I'd take care of getting rid of the supposed virus first.
Sabretooth Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Ummm, don't you have any antivirus software... like... uh.... Norton, or McCaffee or AVG or something of that sort?

Astrotoy7 Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 ...good ole Swamp Tech Support, land of the reformat = solution to everything... ah well, good to hear its fixed Tepe. I'd suggest you get some AV software, even if its just AVG, also beg your parents to get you a newer OS.... mtfbwya
Vikinor Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Did he say spyware? That stuff is hard to get rid of. You should download SpySweeper or something like that to get rid of it. And to no offense but I have not gotten along with InsaneSith in the past so therefore I DO NOT LOVE YOU INSANESITH
Black Knight of Keno Posted February 27, 2005 Author Posted February 27, 2005 Originally posted by Astrotoy7 also beg your parents to get you a newer OS.... mtfbwya Hey, I ain't getting a newer OS. 98 is the most stable Windows at the moment... And my Linux doesn't run most of the programs I want to use >_> when linux can run all Windows-programs except IE, I will be in heaven PS. The problem actually isn't yet fixed... I happened to screw it up in one way or a nother... >_>
El Sitherino Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Originally posted by Darth Tepe Hey, I ain't getting a newer OS. 98 is the most stable Windows at the moment... Uhm... win2k is the most stable actually. And what all programs you usin?

Let me guess, you're using 2k, huh? With programs I mostly meant PSP, various games and so on... If you meant to ask about this: Originally posted by Darth Tepe ...And my Linux doesn't run most of the programs I want to use >_> when linux can run all Windows-programs except IE, I will be in heaven
El Sitherino Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Originally posted by Darth Tepe Let me guess, you're using 2k, huh? Nope, a tweaked XP with BBL and Ubuntu Linux. But I know win2k is the most stable because.... it is. It's been said many times even by MS figure heads and executives. Originally posted by Darth Tepe With programs I mostly meant PSP, various games and so on... If you meant to ask about this: Ah, just curious. Mostly because I've found linux to have pretty much everything I need right there, easy to get. Games it's a bit of a wade through.

El Sitherino Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 Why with the attack? I was correcting your mistake, and I'm here trying to help you. Don't want help don't ask for it? Sorry to have offended you.
Black Knight of Keno Posted February 27, 2005 Author Posted February 27, 2005 What attack? I wouldn't dare to attack a... *twitch* ...moderator
El Sitherino Posted February 27, 2005 Posted February 27, 2005 win2k sports optimum resource splitting. It distributes resources more efficiently among programs than any other MS OS. And it's lightweight.
