Hello,

Well, I have some ideas, but it depends on how well/poorly you designed your system.

Some questions --

* What did you use for backup software?
* Is your data also on your C:

I am hoping that your data is somewhere besides C. You can then format the C, restore the programs necessary, and re-connect them with your data. If you did not partition, I bet you will consider that during this re-build phase.

Let us know,

Christian
