Download that and burn it. It includes, among other utilities, a virus scanner.

A black screen, or a black screen with an error message on it? You can also try the repair install on the XP installation CD. That way you can at least try to recover some of your documents.

I've had that before. But I don't remember why, or how I fixed it. Rather pointless me posting this

that happens sometimes when you have a bad format, My pc has a black screen for like 3 mins after windows finish loading, give it time it'll boot
