Hey guys,
My sister in law has an old computer(Gateway),and she accepted some kind of virus,because she clicked ok when that fake virus cleaner popped up on her system. So,I tried going into safe mode but it only kept rebooting back to the OES startup.Someone suggested that I change the boot order in BIOS,becasue it wasn't recognizing the installation disc.Now,I can't access the system at all,the lights on the keyboard flashing(caps,numbers,and scroll),and it won't allow me to do anything it read 'no cd/dvd found' it was saying 'invalid diskette'. Any help is highly appreciated.
