Metalloy wroteis their a benefit in running the virus scan in Xp instead of 7?
Yes , since the XP you'll be using is from the disk, which means it's not from your HDD.
Metalloy wroteIf it were from the HDD some viruses can't be removed because they will be used by Windows.
and i did not find check disk, however i did find test disk, is that what you're talking about? and that i should do in Xp or in 7?
All viruses will be removed by the boot CD since they aren't active when you boot to XP with the disk.
As for Check disk , you should use it in XP (The boot CD). It's located in: My Computer >"Right click Local Disk C:"(The drive Windows is installed in)>Choose tools at the top. You'll see a window similar to this :
Click the fist "Check Now" button and tick the first two check boxes and then click "Start". After a few minutes it will finish scanning and fixing the corrupted files.
Note: If you have more than 1 local disks
scan both of them and be sure to use check disk on those drives as well.
Metalloy wroteone last thing, for updating the drivers, shall i do it in XP or 7?
You don't need to use any drivers in the boot disk (XP)
Use Windows 7 to update your drivers.
To do so, right click on Computer >Properties >Advance System Settings (Top left)>Choose "Hardware" at the top>Device installation Settings>Choose " Yes, do this automatically (recommended)" >Save Changes.
Now go to device manager (Which is in the same window) and update under Display adapters, IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, Mise and other pointing devices, Keyboards, Network adapters , Sound,video and game controllers.
To update right click on the device and choose "Update driver software" (First button) and click "Search automatically for updated driver software".
Cheers.
