My computer was slowing down so I ran Adawre and it picked up 25 high risk Malware, whilst cleaning it it told me I have to reboot in order to complete the process of removing the malware. When I rebooted this message came up in the DOS screen
"NTLDR is missing,press any key
then when I hit enter this 2nd message came up
Disk Boot failure, insert System Disk + Press Enter
WHen I put in my Win XP Pro, and reached Recovery and selcted option 1 and then the screen just went into the DOS prompt, I then typed "FIXMBR" and in less than second
it said New boot sector was successfully written,
But when I rebooted I keep getting NTDRL is missing press any key, then DISK BOOT FAILURE, insert SYSTEM DISK, I went Iput back the XP CD and it go to the Recovery section it just goes back on the C: prompt, when I type DIr, it says the volume has no label Serial 000-0000
Directory of C:\
No Matching files found
When I try to change the dir to C:\iwindows or any other directory I had it says the system cannot the sprecified file ot directory specified.
I then remove the drive and hooked it directly to the mothrboard of another PC and when that PC booted from its original drive it recognised my drive as E:\ clicked on it in FIle Propertys it said Used space 0 Bytes free space 10Mb
I then ran a program called ****** DAta Recovery Wizard and it recognised the drive as as stated it was (FAT12), it checked the correct size and was able to show the contents of the Drive and I was able to transfer aot of Data to the other PC C:\drive to save.
But still whe I put my drive back into my own PC, it keeps giving that NTDRL missing and when I reach as far as the Windows recovery it just goes back to the C: prompt (even when I selct 1.
I have alot of inportant programs and stuff on this drive and would prefer not to format it or erase everything.
Please tell me how I can get Windows to start back up again.
Thanks in advance

****** DAta Recovery Wizard

What is the name?

What are the names of what Adaware found?

Have you tried going to a System Restore point. Even if it is infected go to it. We can still clean the malware.

1. Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.
2. When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.
3. Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows.
4. Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter.
5. You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.
6. Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter "E". This letter may be different on your computer.
   
   copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
   copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
7. Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.

As I said previously I have reached that far with the R repair in Windows Options
But it doesnt go any further from there when I choose an option I just get the DOS prompt and it does ask me anthing about Admin Passwrod, After I ran Fxmbr etc more problems started occuring.

(Easeus Data Recovery Wizard Professional 4.0.1.) (its fairly new on the market only came out recntly) itis the best and fastest, I tried Recover my files and manyother and none cud help me, Not even Norton Utilities Disk Doctor.

As for the malware I cant rememebr all I remember is that Adaware detect it as a highlevel threat that opens port to the net.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME IM DESPERATE, FEELING TO THROW THIS WHOLE SYSTEM OUT THE WINDOW AND BUY NEW ONE

Yea I have seen most of your posts at the other forums (I surf alot of security forums)

Did you see this link? http://clock-cycle.co.uk/ntldr.html

Pretty much the same set of advice is given by all. Whatever virus Ad-Aware removed was not done very efficiently. And was a nasty piece of malware.

Honestly, I dumped Ad-Aware when they went to the 2007 version.
I will recommend that when you get going again to ignore Ad-Aware and go with:
Spybot - http://filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/
SUPERAntiSpyware - http://filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/
AVG Anti-Spyware Free Edition - http://free.grisoft.com/doc/avg-anti-spyware-free

These are free and in my opinion more reliable then any other free antispyware.
