Firstly, before you follow all the other suggestions, boot to linux and back up your important data from your windows partition. Secondly, if you believe that you have a virus on the windows partition, you may want to get an antivirus that works on linux, to check the windows' files, to clean or remove any possible virus. A boot diskette that removes the virus would work as well. If that doesn't work, your gonna have to REPAIR (NOT RESTORE) xp from a full version cd. Make sure you make a linux boot diskette before doing this, as repairing xp will overwrite the master boot record. Hope the suggestions help.
