Please post as much information about your computer, operating system, and problem as possible, what happened prior to problems, etc. Too much info is OK, too little is pointless! Don't just say "My computer doesn't work. What's wrong?"

You guys are right.... I usually check every file before installing but this one time, i didnt... I began to download norton antivirus....  All the Norton stuff showed up but when I restarted all my files were unattached or locked....  I cant even run any antivirus programs.... No Nada... I cant open a music file, picture file, etc... Sorry for the trouble guys.... I'm going to get an external harddrive put all my stuff on it and reformatt everything and see if that works...

Boot to your OS disk & choose the repair option.

Well Guys, nothing worked and I really haven't had time to work on it.... I suppose that my best bet is to just remove all the files from my laptop and redo the laptop...  My question is what is the best way for me to remove all the files from my laptop.  Which folder should I copy over....

Do you have critical data on your laptop?  If not, it'd be easier to just wipe the whole thing instead of trying to back it up.
If there is important stuff on there, you probably want to mirror the whole drive on to the external.  I'm not sure how to do that, but copying one or two folders probably won't do the trick.  There's probably software on the net somewhere that'll mirror a hard drive onto another one.

Just a note, I know you already know this, but I'm just clarifying: NEVER download .exe files from Limewire.  I've never seen one that doesn't include spyware, adware, or actual viruses.

edit #1: I just found your other thread, and I'd just like to reiterate (oops, what was his name?) somebody's post: You probably should save images, contact lists, favorites, and other created files (papers, word processed documents, spreadsheets, etc.).

In general, the PEBKAC.  Whether it's now or was three weeks ago, the PEBKAC.
Unsafe browsing and general computer / internet illiteracy IS the users problem.  Don't have sex if you don't know how to use a condom.
Also, there are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.
