need help with reinstallation

Hi al

I am trying to reinstall vista on a acer aspire laptop. The machine ha
been badly infected with an unknown virus/ infection. The virus doesn'
sca

I think that i might need to flash my bios. I can't change the bio
setting to boot to cd. In other words i can't change anything in my bio
at all it won't let me arrow down of the item on the top line. I thin
it is the virus because the behaviour is the same

when i try to load the os on the machine it does the ramdisk thing bee
the whole way. Then places something on the screen then starts again

the machines keyboard doesn't work so i am using a psp keyboard with n
problems there. So it is panic beeping while it is trying to install th
os.

i have wiped the hard drive with a partition disk. so there isn't an
operating system

I have downloaded the bios off acer website but i am a little unsur
how to prepare the disk to make it bootable.

thanks for your hel
