I recently discovered my computer was infected with the W32.Pinfi virus after running an AVG scan. I decided to do a clean install of Windows 2000 Pro from OEM disc. I do however have two hard drives running in my system, the primary one is for the OS and installed Program Files the secondary one is my permanent storage what I never format. I am having trouble with that now, if you skip to the last paragraph you'll see my specific problem. I unplugged the second drive before clean install. Got all drivers and service packs updated, and purchased Mcafee Virus Center 2007, and installed it, did a scan of the C: drive. Then I powered down, and plugged back in my D: drive. When I booted up, W2k CHKDSK came up asking to check for consistency on Drive D:. It only gave me 10 seconds to decide, half which had elapsed before I noticed it was being displayed, so I automatically skipped it by pressing a key. I felt guilty afterward, and thought I should let it run its course before I do a full scan of both drives. So I did restart, was prompted again, and let it spend about 20 minutes scanning, to which is took a long time, mentioning replacing clusters, and orphaning files, really made me nervous, but I didn't want to reset it either. It finally finished, so right on boot up, after much wait, I did the full system scan C: and D:, found some 42 instances of Pinfi (which I thought was low) of which were "repaired". So then I tried to play some of my Mp3s in my Music folder on D:. All that happens is winamp comes up with the song titles displaying 0:00. So then I tried opening pictures, they come up as X's. Zip files are corrupted? I don't know what's happening or what's missing. Is this reversible? I just bought this hard drive two months ago, so I have an older one with most of my stuff if I really need to reformat and start over, but it'd be nice if I could save this. I downloaded SpeedFan to do a S.M.A.R.T. check, both drives which are an identical pair of 250GB WDs and show no bad sectors, and are at 97% Fitness, 100% performance.

Id also like to mention, that right now as I am browsing through the files, some of them work, others don't. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which ones do and which ones don't. I should also mention I ran CHKDSK twice. Athlon XP 3200 Shuttle AN35N Ultra Geforce 6800GT OC 1GB PC3200 Windows 2000 Professional

Don't know much about this trojan. Symantec has removal instructions on the link below. Check to see if these steps were taken. It doesn't sound like it would affect MP3 files. http://www.symantec.com/security_re...

Yeah it would seem like it'd only be able to affect the executable files, which is what McAfee showed as repaired. Though what's peculiar is that these hard drive errors originated before I even did the McAfee scan. Is it possible possible that the Windows CHKDSK incorrectly identified a problem with HDD, and subsequently tried to fix something only to break it. Before my clean install, the secondary volume worked great, this has all been post clean install :( Athlon XP 3200+ Shuttle AN35N Ultra Geforce 6800GT OC 1GB PC3200 Windows XP Pro SP2

Are both of these harddrives identified by model number in the POST screens at startup?

Yes, they both come up with model numbers I believe. Athlon XP 3200 Shuttle AN35N Ultra Geforce 6800GT OC 1GB PC3200 Windows 2000 Professional
