System recovery (post-virus)

Hi guys,

I need your help with this issue..

We have had a virus in 20 pc's installed with Windows XP.
The virus harm the installation to a point that we cannot start win xp in
any mode (normal, safe, etc).
We tried to recover the system from the installation cd-rom running a repair
but it was helpless.

Is there any other method of recovering the system?
Perhaps something with the recovery console?
Is there any way in which i can restore to a previous state from the
recovery console? or can i copy the registry files of a healthy installation
in the harmed installation?

Thanks in advance for any comment

Daniel

Why not simply restore from a known good backup?

This are client computers and we dont have backups
And, we cant get into windows to use the backup/restore utility.

Thanks,

Daniel
