Solve : I guess I don't know how to clean a HDD after all.?

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 .

 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!
