Thanks for the help..... but, I just found out there is another problem. I am not able to access the files in my user directory when I slave the drive. I get the message: Access is Denied. I can access the files in all of the other user directories located in the Documents and Settings folders, but not the ones I need to make a backup. After I do try the Repair install, will I be able to login to my user directory using my orginial password, etc.

|I was infected with the Sasser worm without realizing it. I deleted the lsass.exe file. It is in the recycle
bin. Now, I no longer get a login window. It won't even boot into Safe Mode or give me a command prompt. When
I tried to run the Recovery Console, it wouldn't accept my administrator password. Is there anything I can do
besides slaving the drive, backing up the files, and reformatting?
