you should not delete anything off of it before you get a operating system cd like windows. If you do the computer will do nothing when you start it up. When and if you do get a operating system cd write me back and i will guide you throught the steps.

If your laptop has a virus I think you need to go buy a Northern Antivirus. It helps remind you when a virus is coming they will ask
you what do you want to do.trust me I have a HP laptop too and its old belive it or not! Bingo I win!!!

CruZ, I have a better solution for you. Your machine is old and if you start upgrading, it will cost you much more than a new one. So, if you can scrape off about $500.00 to $800.00 bucks go get a new one for yourself and forget about bringing the old one back to life, unless you want to do it for training and learning, which is another story.
Good luck
