My friend's got this nice virus...

Something like that was happening to me some months ago. Strangely enough, all I did was unplug my cable internet connection from the computer and the PC booted up as normal then I reconnected it. I had to do this every time I went on the computer for a while. Maybe that'll work.

I did a search for "windows boot disk" on Google and look what I found:

Anyway, your friend just needs to reinstall Windows... asuming he is running Windows that is.

If its XP, you can try repairing it. When you get to the blue screen area on the install when its booting from the XP cd, dont choose the first repair that it shows, go through steps until you see repair a second time.

Other then that, probably gonna have to reformat unless you can get into safe mode and run a virus scan.
