Answer» Hi Dave,
Before I cleaned this computer, it reported "Kaspersky database corrupted" for any Kaspersky utility. When I opened most other programs the dialog box came up "Not support this platform", the keyboard was disabled and "WINDOWS security can't be started" came up. I cleaned the HDD with Eraser and used a partition program to delete System reserved partition and reinstall the boot information. Installed win 7 and A/V three days ago and haven't seen anything that isn't operating properly. Thanks again for all your help.It's too bad you had to resort to a re-format but now you have a new computer. Good luck. I'm SURPRISED no one mentioned NTFS error 55 from second post . http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Windows+Operating+System&ProdVer=5.2.3790.1830&EvtID=55&EvtSrc=ntfs&LCID=1033
File system CORRUPT , chkdsk /R , likely would have fixed you right up , as the reformat seems to have done. Likely no virus or malware to BEGIN with!
