What OS are you using? If it is 98, try booting from a floppy and use FDISK to delete the primary partition. If you are using Win 2k or XP, you should be able to boot from the install CD. They have options to reformat the hard disk.

Just thought of another idea. Try booting you system in Safe Mode and see if you can run your anti-spy ware in that mode. I've heard of people having success using this technique. Good luck!!!

Yeah if you reboot in safe mode(press F8 when your computer is first booting) you should be able to run your spyware removal tools and virus scans faster. I recommend using spybot search & destroy in combination with ad aware. But if you really want to reformat, you can boot from your windows cd, if you dont have 2000 or XP, you might as well get it, and make sure to download the service packs right away and update all of your virus defs before you do anything.

I have got it under control. Threre was somethings in my registry, finally got it cleaned out after two days of non stop hacking. I built this damn thing and almost gave up to buy a new hard drive, glad I didn't!
