This sucks

This sucks. I let my cousin borrow my 64 GB flash drive with all my game cube and wii games on it. There wasn't a problem until a virus corrupted the flashdrives files. I said ok there backed up onto my computer so I got on my computer and started transferring the files back onto the flashdrive. Well apparently the virus got onto the flash drive and started corrupting files while they the games were being put onto the flashdrive. 20 minutes later I have a ton of corrupted game cube games with no backup and a blank hard drive. nothing was left Not even system files. I'm having to type this from my laptop

Never had a virus as bad as that, sounds like a pain to have it loose in your drives. I got addware once but you could just uninstall it (I was really noob then I guess)

get rid of virus and use a recovery program?

the problem is the system files were corrupted so I can't even boot into windows. I'm tempted to just do a clean install of xp

Try System restore.
What operating system were you using?
