| 599487 | 2007-10-08 16:59:00 | Is my IBM thinkpad laptop stuffed for good? Due to a virus a formatted the entire hard disk I have no floppy drive for this and can only access the bios which refuses to recognize the cd drive or USB drive Can anyone help or give advice?? It also refuses to recognise the harddrive even though it was still working perfectly |

| 599488 | 2007-10-08 17:52:00 | Why BIOS "refuses to recognise the CD drive"? Have you specified the boot order correctly? How long have you had the laptop for? Cheers :) |

| 599491 | 2007-10-08 21:21:00 | Must be an antiquated mb if it doesn't ask you to boot from CD regardless of Boot Order.... Shouldn't need to take it to a shop though, certainly you can do exactly what they would with a little ingenuity and patience | DigitalMessiah (7649) | ||
