Wow. Sounds like a mess. Are you doing all of this stuff in Safe Mode?? If not, then do that.
Now, IE-6 is no longer supported by Windows so you probably won't see any updates. Also, your CD-ROM thing sounds like a bad reader/laser. Had that problem with my XP/HP on and off for years. Kept doing what you did, got inconsistent performance from CD/DVD/RW. Usually worked when I booted with a disk in the bay. Also, all of the search and MS Fix-Its kept trying to address driver and registry issues, never even considering maybe a hardware issue.
Anyway, found OEM in wrapper DVD/CD/RW unit online for $39 plus s&h, installed and wahlah! works better than new

Downlod and install firefox browser
Then use firefox to down load and install the driverpack
solution tool

You may need to load motherboard specific drivers, the
drivepack solution
tool would install for you.

Hi again friends,
Well if you recall a computer with a virus that I could not
boot to the dvd
rom to use my imaging software and i could not get into the
recovery
partition and took mnay tries to get to safe mode.
Today I tried again, ran
Kapersky root kit removal--it found nothing, ran malware
bytes it found
500ish things which I quaranteed (normally that program has
not helped me
regain control with prior re-do's of machine).
Rebooted, still could not
get to boot to cd ; however I was able to get into the
recovery partition.
Did a destructive recovery of the c drive (this only
format the c: and not
the d: partition) got everything back to the way the
computer was in 2006,
BUT still could not boot to Rom. Then added the printer, 2
profiles, xpsp3,
chrome, and avast--went to reboot and it kept cyclycing
between the booting
screen and then seeing xp splash screen.
Started over AGAIN this time only did avast, printer,
firefox. I did not
reboot.hoping it will be okay enough for him to surf
web. I also was unable
to connect with IE 6 to get the updates although the browser
is functioning.
Any ideas what is wrong--now the dvd rom does not only not
see the Hiren
disk , but the disk i put malware bytes and mcafree rootkit
removal.
