Someone please help me. At first I had virus(es) related to RPC which pops up a dialog saying RPC needs to reboot computer, then I had virus(es) that shuts down regedit and antivirus automatically after opening them for a moment. I booted into winxp pro safe mode, scanned everything but came up with nothing. I deleted all the partitions and reinstalled all my WinXP Pros. Now I have another virus(es) that turns my inactive partitions to type 17 (hidden NTFS) and I can't access them at all. I booted using floppy and did scans with f-prot but found nothing. F-prot couldn't scan the hidden NTFS either. I wasted so much time trying to fix this but with no further progress. Please help! Thanks alot.
