THat the problem i do not have another drive to dump this data onto (will have to buy a 5 tb drive to do this) - i have total over 12 tb of data between all my drives. Need a NAS backup system but to expensive. :(

rhuffman:
So am i to assume that doing the rapair install is a waste of time ?

rhuffman:
I would also like to point out that i have used both these programs to donload torrents for years with no problems. I think i got the virus problem off of demonoid site when they finally came back online as they were hacked by some jerk near the beggining of this year. I have been downloading for over 30 years and this is the first time i have had this occur. Target and Home depot have been compromised and i think that this virus that nailed them is possibly on my system. I have had bad dealings with other virus's in the pass and they were a challange to get rid of but i managed to fix them. THis what i have is a mystery and i am stumped.

Boggin:
P2P are notorious for infections and your past experience bears testimony to that.

Without going back through the thread, what was the error message you got for the failure of chkdsk and do any of these problems apply to you http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975778

Hopefully Event Viewer should have more info on its failure.

You can use this method to check the integrity of any connected HDD http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html

The repair install may not rid you of an infection if one is still residing as for the most part, your programs are left intact - but prior to performing a repair install, check the Networking drivers then download/save those to external media so that you can drop them into Windows\System32 when the repair install is complete.

You would normally back up the Drivers folders in System32 but there's still no telling what is blocking connectivity. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

If you were using an OEM build then a factory reset is the most effective way of restoring a computer and so is the clean install - but both being cumbersome.

Just as a matter of interest, is the clock showing the correct time ?

I think if you are going to continue to use P2P then perhaps you should consider creating a Virtual Machine which will protect the main system from any other nasty incursions http://www.howtogeek.com/56158/beginner-how-to-create-a-virtual-machine-in-windows-7-using-virtual-pc/

hI,
                   Repair install will only replace the files of the system, where it is corrupted and not present, but in no way delete the other files present in the system directories or registries.  Moreover, if one has updated some service pack, then repair install may not work. Are these information correct?
