My older computer (not the one I'm using now) is a Compaq Presario 5000 with two CD drives.  It fell victim to adware/spyware in September of last year.  Now I need to use it, to copy some stuff from one CD to another, but when I boot it up all I get is a lot of chatter on the monitor that looks for all the world like a bazillion old-time memory chips, row on row and flashing on and off.  I tried the Norton website but I can't even get into DOS, much less Windows.  And I've tried my old Norton "rescue" disks to no avail.  So how can I rescue my poor li'l ol' Compaq?  Is there something I can download onto a CD on this computer to transfer to the Compaq?    TIA for any help!
