Hi,
You should have a job doing this
Hehe, thank you.

Hope you get it fixed.
If you do end up buying a CD, then please use the link which I gave in the first post to guide you through the repair/restore.

How about just buying the CD from Microsoft?
That way, you pay for the CD, and do the fix yourself.

The other option is to give it to a computer repair shop or asking a friend to repair it for you.

will it boot into safe mode? If so, choose safe mode with networking, go to Trend Micro and use their free house call to remove spyware, etc.
What were the specs of this computer, since it did not have XP?

Hi, I tried getting him in safe mode and enter sfc /scannow.

This was his reply :
I was wrong it won't let me do anything in that. But, I can get into boot menu by pressing F12 but there's a lot of stuff that I don't understand and I don't want to screw this up anymore than I already have.......Is there some way to restart everything from there without the cd?
Seems like the cursor just blinks and does not open up Safe Mode.

Oh well, options here are limited! Don't laugh, but he could try to re-seat the memory and cpu. We have or had about 70 of these machines at work and at times it was nothing more than that, since we do not know if he is getting post codes, difficult to say if it is ever reaching the OS stage.
Another option is to get hold of Hirens Boot CD, but it sounds as if it would be more then he could handle here.
Would be good to know if he is getting any post codes.
