Hi, I recently got a virus (the kind that gives you a string of oooos when you open a browser) and decided to reformat the hard drive. I am running XP and have a Dell Inspiron B120 laptop. I booted from the reinstall CDs and then using the recovery console reformatted the c drive. Then, my computer just turned off and now I can't turn it on! How can I turn it on again?
thank you
