    Ok first take a deep breath, then remove your hard drive slowly and clip it to the motherboard (there are microscopic clips, don't worry if you push it a little, once it sparks it is attached correctly) then power up your computer. It will have some difficulty at first because the senior programmer did not integrate this method into that model until earlier this year. Take some floor polish and lightly dab it on the disk reader then insert your disk, it will now fully rebuild your laptop, just make sure you don't leave it like that for more than 10 minutes or you'll ruin your laptop :P Hope this helps.

    lol um no sorry that would be useless. The Anti-Virus needs the Windows environment to operate. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/w... should get you back on track.

    EDIT: Sorry for laughing. It just made me chuckle because what you said does make sense in an odd way and sorta seems like it would work but unfortunately without Windows Norton doesn't have a platform on which to work.
