Just to start it out... I'm CompTIA A+ Certified, but am seeming to have a little trouble trying to fix my friend's laptop. It is a Sony Vaio (Model: PCG-FXA47).
Recently it was infected with a Worm and destroying all the major system files.
I went ahead and wiped the hard drive with Kill Disk using the DOD recommended wipe. After the hard drive had been wiped, I tried to insert the XP OS disk into the cd drive (bios has cd drive as first boot), but it would come up with an error after trying to boot up: "Error Loading Operating System".
I even tried using my Windows 98 SE disk... Same thing.
Any Suggestions where to start? I'm out of ideas...
Edit: Kill Disk will still boot from the CD, but non of the OS's will...
