    COmputer Filled with problems

    My computer has so many problems and ive looked around on the internet and ive managed to fix some of them.
    I know that i have a few viruses on my computer, but i cant get rid of them, in one case i think i have one on my ipod "boot.exe" and i cant get rid of it. All of the antivirus programs ive tried either dont pick it up or cant scan my ipod.
    Den i have "copy.exe" which i dont know how to fix either.
    Task manager and regedit were disabled, but i fixed that, but i still dont have the start>run option and my windows xp skin has disappeared and has opted for the outdated 95/98 skin.
    My folder options is also disbled, and i tried a reg fix which i found on the internet but it doesnt work!

    My other computer had the same symptoms, except i also had a problem with the process "lsass.exe" and i nothing was fixed. I tried a few antiviruses here too, but they would get rid of the virus, but it would immediately come back.
    Den after a while, my computer would boot up and would get to the "logon on screen", but it was all black and all i could see was my mouse and my keyboard didnt do anything. This was the case in safe mode too.

    So i managed to reinstall windows XP pro by hooking my hard drive up to another computer, since my disc drives had a problem reading the boot CS, and it started working...
    So i shut down, put the hard drive back on the other computer and now when it gets to the boot screen, it jus restarts. I tried to hook it up to the other computer i used to install windows XP and the same thing happens. I also tried to install XP again, but the when i use the boot CD it wont read my hard drive. And i have a lot of valuable information on that hard drive so formatting is not an option.
    I think i might have a problem with the booting sequence, cause i had a program called Boot Skin which changes the picture on the boot screen, but i dont know how to get rid of it.
    I also suspect i got the virus from my friend when i gave him my ipod, cause i dont have internet on either of these computers.

    PLEASE HELP ME! I havent used my computer for almost a month and i need it for school and what not. Thanks in advance.

    P.S.
    This is the hijackthis log from the computer which does actually load should it help...
    By the way this computer, is only used for music production and theres a folder on my ipod call ".spotlight-v100" ]. I dont know what it is and i cant get rid of it.

    Windows probably won't work at all in these cases, since you re-installed on the drive while it was installed in a different machine.

    If I were you with this many problems is the following:

    1. Slave the hard drive into a different windows box and gather all of your data that you need saved onto the other machine.

    2.Wipe that drive and re-install windows in the original machine.

    3. Transfer your data back over.

    If you have data that you need to preserve that bad, back it up! If your computer is mission critical watch the amount of crap applications you install on it as well :)
