I recently got a virus on my Inspiron B120 Laptop and the only thing I was able to do to remove it was to reinstall Windows XP on the computer. I have also installed the drivers from Dell's website but I keep getting the blue screen with the Kernal error message. This is what the message is:
STOP: 0x0000007A (0xE159FA38, 0xC000185, 0xBF93E4EB, 0x075A9860)
win32k.sys - Address BF93E4EB base @ BF800000, DateStamp 48025f2a
Does anyone know what this means and how to fix my computer??
Sounds as if the hard drive is failing or corrupt. When you did the reinstall did you totally wipe the drive or just reinstall on top of what was there?

I don't think you are dealing with a corrupt drive here... try running this drive as a slave on another computer or just take it in to someone that can. they should be able to salvage anything, remove the virus, and let your system boot normally again.
