let me freshen this up a little...

are you saying...

you only reset your computer, with a virus on it still...
it crashed while starting up...
reset it again... it worked,
then played crossfire and realized your replays are gone.

Am I right?

and I think the virus might have deleted your replays as a part of its function to delete personal documents? Do you have a description of the virus?

Is it still on your computer?

Do you have an Anti-Virus? are you using it?

EDIT: either your replays are in the recycle bin, moved (so you have to search the file name), or its permanently gone (meaning tough luck)

yeah well the virus crap thing was trojan i believe so that was pretty crappy n i think the problem that occured was then i rebooted EVERYTHING and i had i thought everything i needed in my external although the replays were located at my C file so yh im guessing it got deleted perm... so im fked badly

If there is still a chance there somewhere in your PC you can try searching ( Start menu, Search, All programs and files) for *.cfr . This will find any replays on your hard drive.

You should try some recovery software, i like GetDataBack for NTFS..
It can restore deleted/damaged/... files, so maybe it can help you too.. Depends on how much damage has virus done, but in most cases it can save at least something
