[QUOTE="smoggy07, post: 905686, member: 298987"] I used the avast remover to "delete" avast and it made no difference I can't remember what it was that I'd done but I managed to get the database up and running somehow, I quickly dumped the important table and then done a full database dump and stored them on an 8gig SD card (on a bootable win7 iso) I rebooted, tried to install win7 over the top of the XP setup I'd used to get the database back and went through the menus, formatted the partition the installer wouldnt install onto that partition, I Googled it on my phone and found a tutorial and using the command prompt formatted the hard drive again, rebooted again and instead of the win7 install kicking in I got an error (bootmngr is missing or something like that) Turned the computer off, booted into recovery and used notepad to open the SD card and it was empty, somehow the format must have killed the card off too I'm trying to recover the lost data from the card now but if that fails I'll have to start again, that'll teach me for not saving the files elsewhere too lol :-doh [/QUOTE]
