    Boot to your windows CD and go from there.
    Part of the reinstall process is a format.

    Hi my name is eric
    What happen is that first the virus may have affected the drive c, the way you can remove it is by scan it with ant virus. You can low formatting to do it but in another another time let your Master boot record be in drive C and the rest of your file should be in back up which is D,E or F.
