I am trying to reload Windows XP, because it has what I believe is a virus.  When I get to the screen that ask you to press F8 to accept nothing happens.  Is there another way to accept - I tried control I and it doesn't work.

 

Background:  The Dell laptop belongs to a friend and it stopped working.  When you power it up it goes through the bootup secquence and then you get a blank screen.  When I turned the computer off and back on I get the choose of how to start windows and

I selected Safe mode.  The system goes through reading the config file and then stops.

 

In all my years in IT I have not seen this problem before.
