    Win2000:Trying to upgrade to XP,but cant.

    Just a few days,
    I downloaded BullGuard a virus detecting program,I scanned all hard drives
    and it kept find a virus called (((win16.shrapnel.6067))) infected into 39 plus files.
    alot were in my system and system32 files,some were dll's and some were drv's...
    It automatically started deleting them...

    I hurried up and shut down BullGuard but I saw some of the files deleted,some I didnt see.

    I wrote down all the files deleted but uncertain what ones were deleted,but some were important files...because I got a box pop up saying please insert windows 2000 cd to fix files or dll's or whatever it was...

    I believe some of the files deleted that was deleted were sf97unin.exe??<----was is this file
    a few under

    c:/winnt/system were ibmjoy.drv olecli.dll and wfwnet.drv

    I tried to go ahead and upgrade to xp which I recently purchased,but I got a error ..here it was.
    ((((Setup Cannot Create a temporary Folder. setup cannot continue))))),maybe it deleted my temporary folder?

    maybe one of the files,dll's or drv's are creating this error??
    ohh yeah in my event viewer I got a error about
    SERVICE CONTROL MANAGER saying this (((the following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:NaiFsRec))))

    should i do a clean install?can I repair these?
    Is there a program that can detect files missing???

    please,any help will be thankful,
    thanks,
    Paco

    I wouldn't bother messing about with it, just do a format & clean install. You'll be glad you did it anyway, clean installs are always more stable than upgrade installs.

    You could try reinstalling over the exciting OS if there are a lot of files you don't want to lose. Also try another antivirus like AVG which is free. It's a very good program.

    In your case, it would most likely better to reformat and start over. That way for sure the virus will be gone.

    If computers are so smart, why don't they just fix themselfs??
