clean bagle-infected old windows installation via new one

hi

my computer was infected by beagle or bagle. see (kas. log)
the AV was shut down and some app. are being blocked when try running them, with the message "..is not a valid win32 application".
entering the safe mode is impossible - i get BSOD after the drivers loading.. all this is familiar to my

but, booting up in to normal mode is not possible either( i think because i had schedued a safe boot with the "safe boot" application) so the window symbol comes up and the i get the same BSOD with the same error logging.

therefore, i couldnt follow the standard cleaning procedure of these infection.

now i am using a new windows installation, on another drive, but i need to use the old one.

is there a way to clean the old windows by accessing its drive ? icant run combofix or even ccleaner,, maybe there is a way doing it manually

thanks ahead,
shay

I just want to be sure I understand corretly. You have replaced the drive with a new drive and new install, the old drive which has the infected OS on needs to be used but can't because it's infected and won't boot properly, correct?

If so, have you tried connecting it as slave and running a few scans on it?

 

hi

that is correct. i have 3 hard drives. the primary with the infected OS installation.
as i understood, the cleaning procedure of a beagle requires some runnings of the specific tools from the infected OS. but, as i have mentioned, i couldn't access the normal mode nor the safe mode.
moreover, the system restore function was disabled .so i couldn't restore to a previous working boot point using the Recovery Console.

i figured there is a way to fix the OS on this hard drive now that it is slave, but all the fixing utilities are referring to the new OS.

...Anyway,now it is only a matter of curiosity to me, because i have "surrendered" and installed a new OS on the old hard drive(the original). ...and maybe your solution could help others.

Thanks for the reply!

Shay.

 

If I understand this correctly, you have already reinstalled the OS on the infected drive?

 

that is correct. i have solved the problem by this way.
