So heres the story,
One day i got avast the antivirus to whom seemed a good idea to mess with the boot files....so next boot BANG --- "Operating System not found"
The laptop is old, the cd doesnt work and also the hp freaking dowsnt want to boot from usb.
I also have an new Dell computer which have 2 hdd slots .However i dopnt get it how to put it in since the hdd thingy is too small for the thingie.The other hd looks exactly the same but its covered with a metal thingie to keep it there and i dont get it how to get rid of it -.- since it look stuck there.

[HELP]

Does anyone know other ways how to get rid of "Operating System Not Found" without cd?

If not , Are all HDD compatible with any pc?
(im planing to use my xp cd to install the os in the hdd...)
