You have been reinfected from the other disk (simply deleting its file has never been enough, all the modern malware can recreate themselves) and a simple format will not remove modern malware. Download and burn to a disk http://www.dban.org/ and disconnect the internet line.
2 options:
1 – Safest: save all your files to DVD+R disks, boot from Dban disk and wipe both your hard disks; reinstall XP and, immediately after, the security programs; reconnect the internet line and update XP and the programs; put in the backup disks and scan them before opening.
2 – Easiest: uninstall all programs,stop the System Restore, permanently delete all the junk from the second hard disk and unplug the disk from the motherboard; boot from Dban disk and wipe your XP hard disk; reinstall XP and, immediately after, the security programs; reconnect the internet line and update XP and the programs; plug in the second disk and scan it thoroughly before opening.

Windows utilize a restore utility that backs up selected files
automatically to the System volume information /System Restore folder. This means that an infected file could be stored there as a backup file.
You didn’t remove the virus because Windows will auto restore the virus file after you reboot.
Go to another PC and download Clamwin portable anti-virus program.http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/c…
