You mean Windows won't boot? That doesn't mean the the information on the drive is gone. I'd buy another harddrive, considering how cheap they are these days, and reinstall Windows on that. You can see what's still on the harddrive then. Or boot a Linux Live/Rescue CD and mount up that drive and check.
More than likely it just killed the boot sector information or something related.
Edit: I use AVG Free antivirus and I've have very few viruses.

That sucks...that's why I had to switch to an Apple, I couldn't take it any more, I can't stand frustrating shit like that. If I'm gonna pay that much money for something I don't want it to be stressful to use.

I keep thinking about making the leap to apple and now that they use intel procs and run windows it makes me want to do it even more but I love being able to play around with my pc and the never ending upgrades that are always coming out.
