I have gotten a virus on windows for mac:mad:. When I try to go on it brings me to a black screen to make me decide how to start windows. There are 5 ways to start it. You could start it normally, start it with the settings last time it worked and 3 versions of safe mode. None of the safe mode versions work they just lead me to a black screen. When I try to start it normally it starts for about 5 seconds and then the computer restarts. Its the same for starting it with the setting I had before. Is there any way to fix this without erasing everything on windows:confused:
 
Might not necessarily be a virus, I had a corruption in my boot file that caused that. Pop your windows disc in your Mac and boot into the CD, you should from there be able to run a repair utility, I cannot remember where it is when you boot into the disc, but I seem to remember there being a function, give it a shot, worth a try.
