    Are you sure you have a virus and haven’t experienced a hard drive failure?

    A virus can’t stop you from doing a full windows reload. You should be able to boot from the Windows Install CD and, from there, wipe the drive and reinstall windows. If you’re experiencing problems with that, I’d suggest using a harddrive diagnostic tool like seatools for DOS, available here: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools
