Win XP Pro help...

Okay, so a virus has apparently ripped through my system causing much havoc. I tried booting with the installation CD and doing a repair (It says my System directory isn't there and suggested a repair, so I did it) and the installation of Windows isn't listed.. Joy.

So I try to install Windows again to see what's up with my partitions, drive #2 is fine, with NTFS and everything peachy keen, drive #1, the boot drive is now "Unknown" file system and no longer NTFS. I have the choice to format the partition to install Windows. Not a good option, I need that data.

Now, I've been reading some docs on fixmbr and fixboot and they both suggest that I shouldn't be using them if I'm having trouble accessing my drive(s), so I'm assuming I shouldn't run these... What the fuck can I do? I really need the data off this drive...... Help?
