Maybe you've heard of floppy disks? CD-R?
How do you propose to repair your machine without the necessary software - concentration & stern looks?
It is a complicated pest to remove - if you're stuck on the part where you download and install the tools, I would suggest paying someone to fix it for you.

you might try reverting to an earlier version of the registry to see if that will restore some sort of functionality to your severely compromised machine - start in DOS and enter:
scanreg /restore
.. and choose a date prior to your adventure.
Quite possibly your Cd and floppy diffiulties are hardware issues

I think this problem is probably more than you can handle. You better take it in to a shop. Either that, or format and reinstall windows.
