malware cleaner removed essential files - trying to repair

[Esilenna]

I'm in a bit of pickle:

I was helping a mate get rid of Trojans and viruses on his Fujitsu Lifebook e-series laptop.

Unfortunately the malware cleaner removed some essential Windows files so I'm stuck in Task Manager at the moment.

Using Task Manager I can access the whole of the disk, and start and stop the laptop.

I copied some of the DLL files Windows XP said it required via a burnt CD, but after copying iertutil.dll I got the error message "The ordinal 681 could not be located in the dynamic link library iertutil.dll". After trying to google research this error message, I decided to use the XP cd to try and repair XP.

However I now get "Setup did not find any hard disk drives".

I am not comfortable with Bios handling - however I did manage to find the following info:

Serial ATA Port 0 Fujitsu MHV2080BH - SATA

I've tried to google "mvh2080bh" to see if i could find a driver but no luck there. (And of course since its a laptop there is no floppy drive so i'd have to make a slipstream (?) CD, hopefully I could manage that - perhaps on my own Windows 7 laptop?)

So now i'm stuck - I'd love any tips on what to do next, so my mate doesn't blame me for ruining his laptop....

Doesn't he have a recovery partition or his recovery disks?

You can integrate Intel SATA drivers in Windows XP installation disk with nLite. And yes, you can do that on your Windows 7 laptop.

>"The ordinal 681 could not be located in the dynamic link library iertutil.dll".

This error occurs when you downgrade a dll to a lower version and an entry point is missing.

It can also rise when the new files are too much newer. When you try to repair, you have to provide the files from the same service pack level and if possible hotfixes.

Just thought I'd let you know that I gave up. I just couldn't find the drivers/files I needed.

Luckily I did find a techy mate who was happy to donate a laptop that had been "put out to pasture" but still was an upgrade for the old Fujitsu so all's well etc.

Did you run sfc /scannow or sfc /scanboot ?

(followed by sfc /revert)

Which malware cleaner were you using?
