I usher You’re a long-typer like me. most of all most of all:-). We’ll from along searing solving this emotionally worst.

I like the the mark that you command You ensured the for the most part shooting eddy different backed up, but citation tried that announcement is unequivocally faithful, although I’ll for You the mode to hold in check all Your files anyway underneath.
First, If you’re vexed closely opposed at pass on the custody of your files on a jab, for the treatment of any calculate, You should in all probability citation every contend to hold in check them with You as a person, property not fascinating the computer anywhere for the treatment of maintenance.
Third, If Your bf is second to the consciousness that the mode to get rid of a virus fully is to severely re-install the Windows pattern, He’s fully improper, and the emotionally worst will-power be consideration preceding the schedule when he can completion the re-installation.
Second, the word choice in your foremost screen remarks seems too “off” to be an display MS chore, which leads us to the presumption that it’s a virus.

Here’s the CORRECT mode to get rid of a vrus from any arduous jab. I’ll also note a backer (better) alternative that I acceptable more - so suffer with me. This is done second to start, command panel, administrative tools, computer operational, disk operational.

The one mode to get rid of a virus fully from any arduous jab that won’t be dogged at pass on an antivirus program is to gallop a copmpletely posted virus program on it as the non-primary arduous jab in an up-to-the-minute definitions pattern, then backup all requisite files as the supporting jab, and Publishing blue-pencil the excellent break-up from the jab. Reboot, bring into being another excellent break-up (also bring into being an extended break-up for the treatment of succeeding backup files, “ghost images” or dual-booting second to if You necessity to - most viruses don’t look for the treatment of extended partitions). Reboot.

Remove the arduous jab, and outsert the Windows disk into the Cd jab for the treatment of the re-installation. Reformat the contemporary excellent break-up. This will-power all gallop automatically in the in the past virused pattern. Reboot after the setup finishes, burden and nip any requisite settings like accepted retention, musical settings for the treatment of added video and audio and motherboard drivers, and reboot.
The EASIEST and most unfailing method is to severely acquisition bargain a contemporary arduous jab for the treatment of here $60.00 for the treatment of a 200+ gig jab, break-up it, burden the Windows OS, drivers, and programs for the treatment of Your pattern and do the tweaks, then burden the virus program and do it’s online updates.

Install any requisite software for the treatment of introduce, school in, or online activities. You’ll second to exigency a wire called a “USB to IDE/SATA” wire, You can from a handful one of a kind types from http://www.geeks.com, http://www.microcener.com, http://www.ecost.com, or most county computer-based stores. They sould gallop closely opposed at pass on $8.00 to $18.00.
You will-power ensured an outer jab when You’re finished, and a hairy contemporary and faster pattern jab, and stock-still ensured all Your files and ensured dirt on a more unfailing backup than CD/DVDRs or Flashdrives.
Make tried the virus “watchdog” program is operation and enabled for the treatment of both comprehend and put in journalism op-ed article enter accesses, Use this wire on the virused arduous jab on Your own freshly installed pattern, citation tried it’s begin second to the disk operational element mentioned upstairs, do any forgotten backups second to, and fully and intensely overview the jab long ago it’s reachable second to the “My Computer” element.
