MY MACHINE:
Sony VAIO
Model: VPCEH25FM/B
640GB HD (can only format to get 598GB)
4GB Ram

Primary OS: Windows 7 x64 SP 1.
Ubuntu Installed
Windows 8 Trail Also Installed

Kapersky AV 2012 (Factory CD installed)
No File Encryption Software Installed

PROBLEM
--------------------------------

I'm not sure exactly what I have I think it's some kind of bootkit. My bios / hard drive and drivers I don't believe are correct. I can't use 40GB of my hard drive (no idea where the space went).

When I use @ActiveBootDisk, it it shows an unformatable A: and a small unalloted parition before and after the main disk drive.

There are a lot of start up services I don't recogonize and am unable to access various files (permission errors). I ran a few programs not sure which ones will help, see any logs that may shine some light as to what is going. Thank you so much for any help you can offer!!!

SOFTWARE SCANS
----------------------------------
I ran the following programs and have the logs attached (normal boot in windows 7 64 bit):

Kapersky v 12 Antivirus
TRSSKiller (screenshot and Log)
RougeKiller
HijackThis
DDS
OTL
aswMBR
GMER (however most options were greyed out)

I believe I found the problem:

TR/Crypt.ZPACK.Gen

Using Piriform Defraggler (to see what files are where) and EaseUS Parition Magic 9.0 I was able to set the hidden drive active and can now see the "Recovery" drive which is first on the system. However there are a ton of files so it's hard to tell which are clean and which are not

See the image below:

The H: Recovery
and/or the I: System Reserved

Load before my OS and contain the problematic files. Also the end of my disk reloads the files after each boot

J:END

So even with a format it keeps coming back. Any clue how to get rid of this??
