    also found this, thanks for the replies

    Trend-Chipaway is antivirus "protection" built into the system BIOS. This can trigger false virus alerts when it doesn't recognise the operating system that you have installed.

    It can be disabled by going into the BIOS. Next locate the Virus Scanning feature. For machines with AMI BIOS, this is under the Advanced menu heading. For machines with Award BIOS, check the Anti Virus Protection heading.

    Locate Trend ChipAway Virus or Anti-virus option and change or toggle its setting to Disable.

    Without making any further configuration changes, save the new settings and restart the computer.

    Chipaway isnt a virus

    Its a antivirus product made by Trend

    The fact that you cant even start your computer in safe mode isnt very good though as its hard to do much if you cant boot your PC.

    What exctly happens - what error message do you get?

    RE: Chipaway isnt a virus

    can't remember exactly but it says something about windows unable to load possibly due recent removal of software or hardware :)S)
