C:\CI.dll Corrupt file crash - help!
Hi guys,
this morning while torrenting some stuff I got a virus (I immagine) that instantly restarted my computer and I got an unusual "loading files" message ... it then proceeded into an endless loop of startup repair that fails... and then I have to shutdown and it all starts again.
When i check the results of the failed scan i discovered that the corrupt file is
C:\CI.dll
So I've been searching all over for something to solve it, but unluckily I don't have a Win7 CD to install (came with the computer already installed) and I haven't backed up any of my files
I've already tried various things such as disabling restart from the advanced boot menu, the Sfc /scannow, infinite loop repair, System restore to an earlier point, system image recovery, windows memory diagnostics, chkdsk, various command prompt methods...
I'm about to try to use a pre boot avira antivir cd, to see if that works.
Basically I want to reinstall windows without loosing any of my files (Untill now the only decent method i've found to give a try is taking out the HD and putting it on another computer to copy the files then reinstall Windows 7 from System recovery Options) ...what do you think I should do?
Some other questions:
Can i move my HD to a mac? I have no other computers accessible right now...
The Reinstall Windows option from recovery tools, will it delete all of my files?
The affected computer is an MSI GX740
- Windows 7 64bit
- Intel i5 430 2.23ghz Cpu
- 4GB Ram
- 320GB hard drive
- Ati Radeon HD 5870 Gpu
I'll give further specs if needed.
Thanks in advance :)
