WIN2K Upgrade Installation Hang up

My PC was recently infected by Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smithfraud.c. I had Win2k pro installed on it. As my Antivirus program failed to remove it, I decided to reinstall Win2k using the Upgrade option. Now it hangs up when it gets to the stage where it is installing Window 2000 components. It installs components for a few minutes and then hangs up at where it says "Configuring Com+.." I have tried rebooting several times but it always begin with the reinstallation process and freezes at this stage. I have the option of using "Recovery Console" if that can help to resolve this problem. Could anyone please help as how can I solve this problem. Is it still possibe to revert to the previous installation of Win2k, or do I have to reformat the hard drive. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

what are you trying to upgrade from?

 
I'm out of bed and dressed, what more do you want?

I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out

One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?
