Just copy the stuff off and do a clean install. Least messing. | |

Buy or borrow an external hardrive or get a second HD. You can get an 80GB drive for about £20 or spend more and go for a bigger drive. Transfer all your data and wipe your exisiting drive. | |

Deano whats wrong with just copying and pasting it to another storage media? Yes there probly are ways of saving it, but its much less risky transferring it completely | |

ed yes you can, but sometimes it is better to start afresh | |

I can guarantee you that it can be repaired without wiping everything. | |

Because a virus/trojan has taken hold which I cannot get rid of. | |

If you're not replacing the HDD why do you need to re-format the disk? | |

:lol: I know to do that and it is what I would have done. I'm sure there is a way of saving it though, especially as it won't be a new HDD. | |

Just copy/paste your "My Doc's" to a USB Pen/External HDD or something | |

Might have to reformat my HDD. However, I'd like to keep 'My Documents' as it contains all my music and such. I have a genuine XP Pro disc. |
