I think that a virus infected my kids computer and crashed it big time. I could never boot as I received a message that some of the windows files were corrupted and could never boot into Windows XP Professional.
So I decided to reinstall Windows XP. I used the WinXP disk to boot into the installation. I deleted the "C" partition and then partitioned "C" again. Then I did an install of windows. The install went fine until the files were being copied. At about 70 % completion, the message came up that the file "nwwks.dll" could not be copied and if I skipped this file windows might not work properly. So the OS was never installed.
I am very frustrated as I spent 4 hours and could not get the OS installed past this point. I ran a seagate diagnostics and the hard drives passed with some minor errors.
I am using an Abit KG7 RAID motherboard, set to RAID 0 , using two IBM 40 GB HDD's (80 GB on the RAID). The BIOS and all drivers have been updated to the latest.
Any suggestions to get this system going again would be appreciated. I am about ready to purchase two new hard drives. Prior to the crash the system ran fine.
Thanks
