Day 3 using the iBook

i tried the F8 method of booting up... nope... silly error message still pop up.. attempt to rescue filed failed.. tried F11 to do a system recovery.. failed in that attempt.. i guessed my ibm highly likely was attacked by virus this time ( btw it was quite protected with the norton sercurity thingy and yes.. as well as firewall.. i guessed i would need to reinstore a whole load of things..praying hard for miracle...when the onsite guys come... gee i would need to tidy my room...
