Help with reinstalling window XP

Hi my computer is infected. I had my HiJackThis log analyzed by Noviciate, he or she said there is backdoor infection and recommended some R&R.

I tried to reinstall Windows XP following Option D as directed at http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=144349, but my computer is not letting me. I get the message that I don't have a valid partition drive. Which i know is not true.

Anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks in advance

Hi, Sorry to hear of the problems with your machine.
It is important that you discconnect from and do not connect to the Internet with this machine until the infections have been removed.

Your machine usually ships with a "Restore Partition" that if activated will "wipe" out your operating system and data/settings and return it to the condition it was in when it left the factory.

Here's the details that you need:
