    If you have the original XP disc you should be able to boot from that, set your BIOS to boot from CD before the IDE hard drive

    can you not do a system restore ?

    have you tried booting computer into "safe mode" to try and get rid of the virus? because with a fresh install of xp, you lose ALL data and updates
