Sasser Virus

My computer has got the sasser virus and now wont boot up. Not even into safe mode. Does anyone know how I can repair my windows without having to format or re-install anything? I am running Windows XP Pro.

Do you get any time at all at the windows desktop? You should have a few seconds at least. Let me know.
