    Did you locate the drive letter of the USB flash drive ?

    In command prompt type in the command below

    Code:
    format /FS:FAT32 X:
       Note
    X: is the drive letter of the flash drive


    Run the Diskpart commands that I posted above to get the flash drive letter .

    Added:

    Once you format the USB flash drive go to the link below ( on the Mac ) and choose Download now x64 bit version

    OK, sorry - I am very confused now as to which files, and where! I have TDSS, but not now using that - right?

    You want me to format a flash drive and then copy the other file to it (link has expired), I format it on my laptop,using line above? Afraid I do not understand Q about drive letter

    We don't need to restart the PC . Plug the USB drive in the PC and in the command prompt type the commands and press enter after each command

    Code:
    Diskpart
    press ENTER
    Code:
     list volume
    press enter

       Note
    take note of the letter for your USB flash drive
    then type
    Code:
     exit
    and press Enter . It should say Leaving DiskPart… then type in the driver letter of the USB flash drive with a back slash " \ " and the name of the .exe file .
    OK, sorry, got it. There are 5, mine is in H:

    Noted!

    Formatting now, and have downloaded file to Mac.

    So, file onto stick, and then bring back to laptop, right? :)

    If you're sure your flash drive is H then run the command

    [code]
    format /FS:FAT32 H: quick
    [/code]

    Yes once you have the file onto the flash drive remove the drive and plug it back into the infected laptop . Inside the command prompt type in

    H:\ and press enter . You should now be in H:\ _ type in frst64.exe

    ADDED : from Cottonball prior post on page 4 or 5

    Type h:\frst64.exe, and press: Enter


    The tool starts and prepares to run. Follow the prompts.
    Click Yes to the disclaimer.

    Press: Scan

    When done, the program saves the FRST.txt report, on the flash drive.
    Click the Command Prompt window, and type exit, and press: Enter

    Back at the System Recovery Options, press: Restart

    When the computer boots back into Windows, please provide the FRST.txt in your reply.

    Yes plug the USB flash drive into the infected drive . Open up a new command prompt window . By closing the current command window and it should bring you back to System Recovery Options: window and choose Command prompt . It should open to x:\windows\system32 . Type in " h:\frst64.exe " without the quotes


    Added : once the its done scanning you should see FRST.txt in your flash drive upload that file to your post .
