There's a few strange things going on here. First, unless the virus messed with your BIOS, you should have been able to hit DEL to access it. If it did mess with it, then reinstalling Windows from another computer wouldn't help since the BIOS stays with the MB. Second, just because you reinstalled Windows doesn't mean the virus is gone. You need to run a virus scanner for that.

That said, I've had a similar problem numerous times (under all flavors of Windows from 95 to XP). Scandisk always seems to fix it for me, but if that doesn't work it may be worth your while to buy Norton Sys Utils.
