Where do I start.. here is the problem. A friend of mine type in ms-dos C:\ format. She formatted the C drive. I got it from her and attempted to restore and repair the HHD. no bad sectors seem to be physically fine. I place the Win xp installation disk into CDROM rebooted press DEL to get to setup screen. Selected Bios then selected to boot from to CDROM. I got a message Verifying DMI Pool Data....Invalid sytem disk
Replace the disk, and then press any key

Bear in mind she has no installation disk or windows bootdisk for Win ME.

Please tell me what can I do at this point. any help would be greatly appreciated.
