If you are able to hook the drive up to a clean system, do not run any programs that are on the infected disk. You may then be able to run a virus scan on the infected disk and clear up any virus's it contains. If you can't scan the whole disk, or the scan isn't successful in fixing or quarantining the virus, run another virus scan on the folders you need to retrieve data from. If these folders are clean, you can then drag them onto your good drive.

Your computer keeps shuting down and rebooting what type of virus do you have?

If the computer shuts down before you cant get on the main computer screen every time then you must get a back up of your hardrive and you have to wipe the hardrive clean and buy Windows again (unless you still have it with the original code) but your computer will be completely blank. If you can get on the main screen and go on the Internet then download AVG it is a FREE softwear scanner and will get rid of your virus. I had one and had to wipe my hardrive clean. If you do lose any important information get it off the backup you have made then collect it. Np : )
