[dba-Tech] Infected Computer

Dear List:

I'm assuming it's infected with something that corrupted or hijacked the
Beep.sys file.  Got a couple warnings from Sygate that something was trying
to get to the internet, stopped that, rebooted and got the Blue Screen of
Death.
 
Rebooted pressing F8 to get some boot options but none work - neither Safe
Mode nor Last Known Good Configuration.
 
Tried booting from Norton Ghost and recovering from the last time I ran
Ghost - about 3 weeks ago, but no soap, appears to recover then BSD again.
 
Booted from the Windows Pro XP disk - gets just so far on reinstall and then
BSD again.
 
If I can get it booted up I might be able to scan and clean the problem.
But I'm not opposed to reformatting the HD.  Had it on the project list for
this machine anyway but would have probably backed up a few things first.
But I can't even run the recovery disk that came from Dell.
 
Any ideas?
