I have a friend whom was hacked apparently. She now
cannot get her system to boot up. It would appear her
boot up files are now gone.

Any suggestions?
 
Hi Lauraley,

Have your friend boot the WinXP CD, load the Recovery Console. From the
command prompt, run bootcfg /rebuild.

HOW TO: Install and Use the Recovery Console in Windows XP [Q307654]

I would suggest that if they have a bootable AV CD or floppy disk set, that
they run this first to remove any boot sector viruses.
