MBR:\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE 0\Partition4 that I cannot delete!!! PLEASE HELP!

Hello,

I have tried to delete the following: MBR:\.\PHYSICALDRIVE 0\Partition4

It is not working. I am unfamiliar on how to get rid of this, so any help would be appreciated.

If you are unfamiliar you are best getting qualified help.

This needs further analysis by a malware removal specialist:
Go to this topic http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 for information on Logs to assist in cleaning malware. Use the information about getting and using the tools and attach the logs here, not in the LOGS topic.

There may be some delay due to differing time zones and availability of the volunteer malware removal specialists.

Thank you! Here is the data:

I just attempted the OTL scan. Once it got to Scanning HKey-Users etc. I received an OTL Error Code 1717 - The interface is unknown. I pressed OK and I did not receive any logs. Please advise.

Could you reboot please and press then hold F8, on the menu that appears do you have the option “Repair my Computer”
If not do you have the windows CD
If not do you have access to a USB of at least 1GB

I tried F8 and it will not allow me to repair. I also do not have the CD’s but I do have a usb.

Download the following three programmes to your desktop :

[] WiNTBootIc
[
] Windows 7 64bit RC
[*] Listparts

Extract wintoboot to your desktop
Insert a USB drive of at least 4GB
Run Wintoboot

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/wintoboot.JPG

Drag and drop the Windows 7 ISO to the programme in the space indicated
Tick the Format box and accept the warnings
Press Do It

You will see it progressing

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/usb%20progress.JPG

It will let you know when it is done
Then copy Listparts64 to the same USB

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/frstwintoboot.JPG

Insert the USB into the sick computer and start the computer. First ensuring that the system is set to boot from USB
Note: If you are not sure how to do that follow the instructions Here

When you reboot you will see this although yours will say windows 7.

Hi. I was unable to run any of the programs, as a box kept popping up displaying the following: Stopped Working Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. Please advise. Thank you.

Could you create the USB on a different computer, as the malware appears to be blocking it on your computer

I was able to do the first program on another computer. However, when I attempt to save the Windows 7 Recovery Disk to my desktop, my computer wants to make a disc. How do I save it to the desktop and then proceed with the rest of the instructions?

You need to drop the windows ISO file into wintoboot. Again do this on a different computer

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/wintoboot.JPG

Drag and drop the Windows 7 ISO to the programme in the space indicated
Tick the Format box and accept the warnings
Press Do It

You will see it progressing

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/usb%20progress.JPG

Done. I also used a different computer. After I rebooted and inserted the USB, a message came up that read: No bootable partition in table. Please advise.

Darn there is probably a minor problem with the USB format…

Can you burn the ISO to a CD … That is a bit more time consuming I am afraid

Or we can use a straight Linux disc

I need you to download:
gparted-live-0.10.0-3.iso (115.1 MB)

Create a bootable CD, for Gparted from the ISO image.

You can use ImgBurn do this.

Now boot off of the newly created Gparted CD.

You should be here… Press ENTER

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/Gpart-Start.GIF

By default, “do not touch keymap” is highlighted.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/Gpart-keyselect.GIF

Leave this setting alone and just press ENTER.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/Gpart-continue.GIF

Choose your language and press ENTER. English is default [33]

At the mode prompt enter 0, press ENTER

You will now be taken to the main GUI screen below

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/Gpart-partitions.GIF

According to your logs, the partition that you want to delete is 10 MB

Right click this partition and select delete .

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/GPart-delete.GIF

The Partition has gone

Now select Apply

Now you should be here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/Areyousure.GIF

Select Apply after double checking that the right partition was deleted

Is “boot” next to your OS drive (100 MB partition ) ?
If “boot” is not next to your OS drive under “Flags”, right-mouse click the OS drive while in Gparted and select Manage Flags

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/GPart-flags.GIF

In the menu that pops up, place a checkmark in boot like the picture below, then close :

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/GPart-bootflag.GIF

Under File select Quit

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/Gpart-quit.GIF

You will see this small Popup

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/Gpart-reboot.GIF

Choose reboot and then press OK.

Done - it actually worked! Thank you!!! Is there anything else I need to do?

Yep could you run a fresh OTL scan please and let me know of any problems at all

Attached are the OTL Logs.

Sorry. Here is the Extras LOG from OTL.

It is now 2am in the UK so essexboy is in bed, he will be back tomorrow late morning/afternoon.
