Please can anybody help, I am ripping my hair out!!

I am running Vista x64 on x2 250GB sata drives in raid 0 by my gigabyte m/b.

The otherday my antivirus "Avast" warned of a Trojan Horse (i do not know which i did not see)
I decided to perform a scan etc and a regclean etc etc, it got late and i powered off and went to bed!!

The next time i booted my machine i get an error regards C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop. saying something to the effect of its not there????????
When i load normal there is only recycle bin and computer, there is only 4-5 processes running and majority of services are not running only 2-3 are actually running! i am unable to start any more services and i am unable to make any connections?? I am very limited in what i can do! I am unable to try a restore due to services not running etc. Grrrrrrrr

I have a lot of un-backed up data i need to retreive before i even think of installing over but this is proving difficult, it does not seem to want to see my usb Hdd etc, i have added a second HDD and tried installing XP but after it transfers its files and reboots it just boots vista and no option for xp to continue the install??

So any help at all would be greatly appreaciated
