My hard drive will not boot or read. I'm using Windows 7 and apparently it's a virus infected nothing works except for the blue screen of death. Can't I use Firefox to boot my computer instead of windows? How do I get to boot during the start up?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking.

If the menu has a Repair option, try using it.

If you can't fix this yourself, you will need a tech. Good luck.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
