Hi Sandra could it be that the laptop tries to boot from CD or even USB drives? Try to boot without a CD or diskette inserted or USB connection. If that works, go into the BIOS setup and change the boot order to hard disk first.
You can "repair" your Windows Installation by fixing the master boot sector, you have to boot with the CD for that. If the problem reappears after that, your hard disk may be faulty or you may have a boot sector virus. greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Sandra Hermann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 9:06 PM >>To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net >>Subject: *ist Ds and virus ? >> >> >> >> >> >> >>I have a laptop that has never been online.
