following a recent virus infection (WIN32.P2P-WORM.ALCAN.A) the system32
directory is no longer visable. I would appreciate any help.

Since you did not say what you have done so far I would suggest the
following:

Disable System Restore and go to
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Use their online scan.

You may not be out of the woods yet, so I would go to the Trend web page
below and follow the instructions for removing WORM.ALCAN.A.

As my other post stated perhaps you should try cleaning again and then see
if you can see the SYSTEM32 folder.

By the way, can you see it in Safe Mode?
