I am trying to fix a computer for a friend..No I am no computer guru, but I know enough to get rid of a virus and much more. The only this is with this one, the virus that was in it must have damaged the hard drive or I have come up on one I have never dealt with before..I thought I got the virus out, but because of the damage I decided to reinstall windows XP, it will get half way through, and then it says “disc is corrupted, and the second time it happened it said”need 2nd disc with sp3” the only thing is this disc is suppose to have it all on it..Now everytime I boot the computer, it will get just so far and quit. I have tried several things including using a different xp disc, but of couse it won’t take it because it is still trying to load the other one..How can I fix this problem? please, please help.. I try to help friends because like me that can’t afford big money to take it to a tech. I am sorry to sound cheap, but when you live on SS you don’t have much choice.
Thanks so much..Have a great day and God bless.
