I need someone who can wipe a HDD and reload XP on a laptop. My neighbour came over for help with hers and we found over 1400 viruses on it and its corrupt so much of windows it wont startup. It should start in safe mode but ive not looked. I dont know enough to risk fiddling with it myself so can someone help??? |

As long as the laptop turns on, you will be able to run a boot disk and do a fresh install. Obviously your neighbour knows they will lose all their info (pics,vids,webpage favs etc...) The other thing is laptops can be a little different to a pc, when you wipe the hard drive they sometimes need extra drivers that an XP disc wont have (ie sound, video drivers) no biggie as you can download on the net.......once you get the laptop working again!!!! Gimmie a shout if you get stuck.....
