Your best bet is to boot from floppy or CD and just repartition/reformat the hard drive.

Reformat it, and re-install windows, go to your local best buy to get more information, make sure you have a windows disk to re-install it. I reccamend this too, so you can get those files off, and everything else you have installed on it. Go to your local electronic store for more information. \n\nHoped i helped

Clean your cache,  = http://www.stevengould.org/software/cleanup   and/or\n Disk Cleaner = http://www.robertenfemke.nl/~diskclean\n\nthen Boot into safe mode, = http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406  , then go to Start/all programs/accessories/system tools/disk cleanup , and run disk cleanup ,\n   \nThen enable CHKDSK, = Click your "My Computer" in the start menu, R-Click the C: Drive, go down and click on properties in the drop menu. When the properties folder opens, click on the Tools Tab, The first item in the list is to do CHKDSK. Put a check mark in all the boxes/start/yes/apply/ok .      The PC should be rebooted in safe mode to do the scan.  To view the results of a CHKDSK go to Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Application, look for the most recent Winlogon event and double-click on it.\n\n          Then run Disk Defrag from safe mode.   After  booting into safe mode go to  Start/all programs/accessories/system tools/Disk Defragmenter. When you open "Defrag", click on "analyze", and it will tell you if you need to defrag or not.

I would have reformatted it. If you had a boot sector virus for instance, It will likely still be there.\n\nI use the wash utility found in webroot windows washer.\n\nYou can either install the hard drive as an extra storage drive and write zeros across it or you can make a floppy disk and boot to that.  In this situation you would only want the old drive plugged in as this is the drive you are to clean.\n\nWebroot windows washer is very easy to use. You can use the free trial to do this.  See link below.\n\nSo there is no confusion, I am an affiliate. I don't care if you  purchase it or not. I am simply  providing that link because the trials from my website are fully functional. If you get it from the website it just shows you what needs cleaning. \n\nSimply formatting or fdisking your computer DOES NOT ERASE ANYTHING.\n\nHope that helps\nNigel
