you have to perform clean install...hope it can be succesful

[Canker_Canison]

Best advice already given. Format & start again.

How many HDD's are there in the computer? Or was a single drive set up with a document partition?

Save what you can before formatting. Use a caddy if needed.

[skegsagypsy]

I done a clean install, windows updates can go ~~~~ themselves in future tho.

yeah....turn off automatic update if the problem from that...


use the original one....that's will guarantee everything go save

I have had simular problems recently, all down to the wonderful Rootkits.

Id suggest using:

Hiren's BootCD 14.1 - All in one Bootable CD ? www.hiren.info (http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd)

Hirens boot cd, goto windows, run gmer look for anything in red and run some of the other av's. Im not sure what else is on the disk from memory, but this is the one CD, I always keep to hand

I would have tried this first then hiren's:

How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392)

I have had success with the above on 2 machines.
