You will see a bunch of typing. Look for a line with the word run in it. Followed by the word run you should see your virus's run path. One you have found and deleted (erased) the virus from the editor press ALT DOWNARROW then the file menu should open up. Navigate to the save option in the menu with the arrow keys and press enter. Once saved press ALT DOWNARROW and go to exit and press enter. That should work if like you said and it is in the win.ini file.

Thats all nice and dandy, but 1) winboot isnt win.ini, and 2) its a bootsector virus, not an operating system virus.

well, we given it a try and we keep getting "bad command or file name". Would this suggest that the Command files for windows is corrupted as well?

Do a ' dir /s/b c: | find /i "edit.com" '. If anything comes up, try entering the full path to edit.com. If it still doesn't work then edit.com must be corrupted or something, but thats unlikely.
