After attempting to clean up a malware/virus infection, my computer won't boot. When I tried to use the Windows cd to re-install/repair, I get a viaide.sys corrupt message and Windows won't boot. Of course, it is critical that I not loose the data on this computer. HELP!!!!

Then a clean install may be in order.

That error message means that there is a problem with the disk. Is it scratched or dirty?
Family and loved ones will always be a priority in my daily life. You never know when one will leave you.

Doing a repair install...will not have any impact on a system that is infected.
To be on the safe side...you probably should be moved to the Am I Infected forum, to have someone take a look for malware on your system...before attempting to do a repair install.
On that premise, I am moving this to AII.

How can someone "look at my system" when it won't boot up?
