Never moved past stage 1 of 3. Going to try the repair windows xp next.

 

In the mean time I wanted to ask if my external hard drive from the infected pc would be alright to attach here on the Toshiba Satellite laptop as I need files stored there. I just worry that it may infect this laptop. Malwarebytes showed it to have the win32 open candy and partially removed it.  The trojan was on C: of the infected Dell.
