help me fix my laptop

Recently I got a virus and restarted in safe mode using the msconfig command. Now I'm getting the blue screen of death and can't boot my laptop. I've managed to get a cmd prompt going but when I try the msconfig it says I don't have privileges to run it. My question is: is there a way to boot in normal mode using cmd? I've tried searching and found something about using the command bcdedit but I can't find the full comand. Any help is appreciated

What is the BSOD code you are getting?
So are you saying you can't even boot into safe mode?

Well I'm not sure what a bsod code is... I set it to boot in safe mode for active directory repair. But when it booted, I get a blank screen. And now I can't disable the safe mode. I created a boot USB using another comp. And now I have access to cmd

Well I guess I got infected with a root kit. I'm really considering a factory reset...

i agree, reformat, reinstall your os. there are plenty of torrent sites you can get good boot disk from or if you don't have to have windows maybe try linux for a bit. linux mint is pretty user friendly for the nix new comer. the following is the file name of what i use to reformat most computers. Microsoft.Windows.7.ULTIMATE.x64.Integrated.February.2010.OEM.DVD-BIE

hopefully the virus didn't corrupt the factory reset.

they can do that? I thought it booted from a partition when you factory reset.

Viruses can have ways of accessing bios depending on if your motherboard is EFI and such, though these are generally highly specialized and you probably just got hit with a botnet/drive-by-download that your antivirus couldn't quite get a hold of so corrupted instead.
My suggestion would be to get a debian live recovery disk, boot into it and mount your hard drive and a second flash drive or backup device, generally your hard drive is /dev/sda2 and usb/backup is /dev/sdb1 though this can be different depending on amount of drives and partition table, So: mkdir /mnt/drive /mnt/bakup mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/drive mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/bakup Now time to navigate around and fetch some files, use ls to get a list of directory's like dir in batch and cp to copy those into your backup. So: ls /mnt/drive/ ls /mnt/drive/Users/admin/ cp -r /mnt/drive/Users/admin/ /mnt/bakup Will then copy the admin folder to your usb device. reboot Obviously this is general as hell and will need to be tweaked for what you want to grab, your partition table, and your drive amount. Also if your hard drive somehow got encrypted or was encrypted this wont work, but hopefully I showed you how easy it is and inspired you to learn something about Linux and computing.
But after all that, or if push comes to shove, Grab your windows cd key (should be on the bottom of laptop) reinstall and still have your files on your usb.

you could have saved all that you lost to an external from the command prompt you were able to bring up with the boot disk you made, then you could have scanned the saved files with antivirus once you restored or from a different machine.
A live linux would have allowed you to save your files to an external also but you would have had the advantage of a gui
