I'm going to do the Boot disk one I just need the step by step advice.

And by plug and play I mean printer, scanner etc etc...because I didnt format my comp last time.
If I was to hazard a guess, you have the blaster virus and when you try to delete it, it says its in use by a system process or something like that. If so, bring up task maanger and close MSblast.exe, then delete it. Although you really should run this:

But thats just a wild guess based upon the shutdown message, it could be another virus altogether.
