Owned by virus. "lsass.exe - Unable To Locate Component".

The camera that I brought from work infected my pc with a nasty boot-sector virus, couldnt boot Win normaly nor in safe mode. The recovery console (cd-boot) worked though, and after doing a "chkdsk /p /r", the problem was gone till the evening when I started my PC again. AFF - was the first thing going through my head, but I just redid the previous procedure.. but, it didnt work now.. chkdsk said that I had an unfixable error. meh.

After alot of poking around (in total I spent alot of hours with this shit), I went to bed. The next day when I came home from work we tried around alittle then decided to reinstall Windows. But that didnt work either (after formating!). This was getting rather depressive, we made a new CD with some files that the first CD for some reason didnt have (the same ISO I've always used - never had any problems before).. But then we couldnt boot with that CD. AWRGH! It got late, we were both tired, I had spent alot of hours watching the percentage-counter building up over and over again and I was in a really foul mood. Went to bed. Today, we fixed it. And everything is back to normal now (except that I lost all my files, including ppl's addresses!! (gimme!)/music/pictures/replays/saved-games/blogposts/configs/bookmarks/etc) It's always nice with a clean install though, and its looking good.
