Helping clean a HP Mini 110 with windows XP for a friend, and I think I've got it mostly done, but one thing puzzles me. The first thing I tried was to boot into safe mode to do the virus scanning, but when the computer was starting and I hit F8 to bring up the boot options, there was only one item: Start windows XP.
No menu item to boot into safe mode at all.
I was able to get into safe mode anyway by starting MSCONFIG and choosing safe boot, but I'd like to get this to as close as normal as I can before I give it back.
