this might be a dumb question, but here goes:
I have a youth who contacted me as his computer has a virus, he wondered if I had a Win 7 Pro disk and could reformat his computer. I’m meeting him Tuesday to show him LL 3.4 and if he likes it will load it as I do not want to get into doing the windows thing again - what a time and effort hog,
So I’m wondering:
1) if I can get into setup and change the boot order to USB first will LL start up if this computer does have a virus?
2) am I risking infecting my memory stick by doing so?
My rational is so that I can test drive LL to see if all works ok before using DBAN on the computer.
Thoughts or comments or advice?
Thanks,
Janet
