Reformatting Vista - Error


Hi All, I have been trying to reformat my Vostro 1700 laptop. I know
very little about computers so I am trying my best and I can answer more
questions.

I somehow managed to download a trojan, I think my son did in a World
of Warcraft file actually, but anyway, so I thought the easiest thing to
do is to reformat the computer. I have gotten to where it gets to 5
steps - the last one being "Completing Installation..."

And it will go like this -
"Completing installation.
Completing installation..
Completing installation...
Completing installation."

And so on for about 15 minutes before it gives me an error. I have done
it twice and it happened both times. I am doing it again so I can write
down what the exact error message is and post it, but I was sort of
hoping this is a common problem and somebody will know what is going on.
Thank you!
