    I managed to connect the Asus HDD to the desktop and was able to boot into it - said unable to start windows, but at least gave me the choice to do a system repair, that did not work so it asked me whether to restore to earlier version which I accepted. Then did start up repair x 2, but could not fix the problem. Windows installation DVD was in the desktop computer so it booted to it and wanted to reinstall windows, but I declined as the desktop is a 32bit and the laptop a 64bit system.[ was that right not to do?] I then put the HDD back into the laptop. First couple of tries same black screen and then suddenly it booted straight into windows!! The Asus screen did not come up and thus neither the option to go into BIOS. I am actually typing from the laptop at the moment and is making the Kaspersky rescue disc as you suggested. I see the TDSSKiller did not find any threats. I 'll keep you up to date. Thanks.
    I just saw your comment about the rootkits that was not found - what does that mean - sorry, but I know very little.

    You misread my post, I did try to restore, but when it asked me whether I wanted to reinstall windows I thought that because the desktop computer is a 32 bit system and my laptop is a 64 bit system it was not going to work - was that wrong????

    No, it wasn't wrong. The desktop has different hardware. You should install with the drive in the machine you're going to use the drive in. On restart go into bios and see if you see your CD/DVD drive there. Set it as 1st boot device and your hard drive as second boot device. I would reset bios to defaults first.
