Format.

...backup files to CD, then reformat ;)
(CD seems like a safe option to me, but you should be careful because you might get the virus trying to get back on your system from backed up files if it's particularly annoying. An extra harddrive seems more dangerous in this sense to me.)

CDs have just as much risk as hard disk.
After all, they're just called removable disk.

Plus, he said that he can't access Windows.

1. As tech_support said format your hard disk.
2. Install OS with latest service packs and security patches.
3. Install a good anti-virus system.
4. Install a firewall - You can use some freely available ones.
5. Clean your PC at least once in two days.
6. Take backup of your system periodically if that is necessary.

And, stop trying to download hacks and/or surf **** sites. These are the two most common sources of the type of virus/malware you describe. Also, don't surf with IE.

I try to format my hd with my xp and 98 cd..but it always prompt me that their is no HD detected during the boot. i just wonder if this is was with my bios configuration in the bios.

Either that is quite some virus, or you haven't booted to the CD drive. This may need to be changed in the Bios, as most are set to boot from the HD for normal operation and can be set to boot from the CD drive when needed/desired. Also, you may need to boot to a CD with anti-virus software on it first. It could be that the HD is actually fried, a cable is loose, etc...
