Rick,

I just went through the same thing and it was a virus called Anticmos.

Knocked out both of my CD drives. Very frustrating since you can't
reinstall anything.

McAfee was very helpful in trying to help me create a rescue disk, which
had to be downloaded to a non- infected computer, but they weren't too
helpful telling me what to do after I used the disk.

I ended up bringing my computer to Best Buy who cleaned it in 20 minutes
for $40.00.

I now have my CD drivers on a floppy.

Good luck.
