O.P. RE: Removal of Boot Sector Virus
well thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll keep a note of them in case what we are going to do tonight doesn't work (Going to see a friend who can make our harddrive a second harddrive for his computer to allow us to run antiviral software on it.)

It went to the friend and turns out that it where we should have only had 5 directories, there were 97, probably meaning that everytime we booted it up, that it was duplicating. Friend copied the entite hd contents to a USB hd, partioned the drive so that the files we couldn't remove will just sit there and installed Windows XP profesional for us. Now its the long process of sitting going through the USB drive to find what files we want to keep :(.

Appears that it not just who have the problem though. Someone else my dad know seems to have got the same problem as well.

Anyways, thanks you all your help :)
