I have had a virus which was detected in some system32
files

The virus detector suggested I delete these and reload
them

I delated them, formated c drive and reloaded windows
completely

However the system files did not reload

How do I get these files back please??
 
You probably don't want them back, as they were likely the virus files themselves. Without more information such as the file names, or the virus that was found, there isn't enough information to assist you.
 
Max,
Do this:
A. Get out your XP CD plus your Service Pack 1 CD (if you have it).
B. Run the System File Checker (SFC) Tool. This tool will check your
operating system for the presence of legitimate uncorrupted necessary
operating files/programs and will restore/repair any found
missing/corrupted from the aforementioned CD(s). As Doug Knox states in
another answer, the missing files you mention may have solely been the
worm/bug/virus files which you do not want.
