     This sounds like the latest virus (I forgot the name) it wipes the
HD and if it can the BIOS making booting impossible. The only way to
fix it is to restore the BIOS, this usually means contacting the
manufacturer and getting a new and then instlaling that chip yourself.
However, please ensure it is not another type of problem (bad power
supply, things like that). TTYL
