I have an issue with a laptop I said I would work on for a friend. First off its in a never ending boot loop, well it boots to a "choose how to load windows" screen (no matter the choice it just reboots to same screen). second when I used his installation disk and try to reinstall I have to choose a partition, but there are non to choose at all then any button I select from this screen takes me straight to the blue screen of death. What I am most confused about is there are no partitions showing up at all. Does this mean he has a bad HD or is there like viral software on here. I'm really confused and am at a freezing point. I appreciate all and any help.
