    Default Laptop Won't Start Up

    So my other primary laptop was being buggy what with blue screens of death and whatnot, so I put it through AVG. After a whole computer scan, AVG found some viruses, one of which was under the tab "Rootkit". So I click on it, and one of the things is called, if I remember correctly, "Master Boot {Something}" and it said it was infected. So I clicked for it to be healed, and it asked me to restart my computer. Now, everytime my laptop starts up, it goes to either blue screen instantly or goes to Startup Recovery which doesn't solve anything as it searches for the problems, doesn't find any, and then restarts. I tried a system restore, but the earliest one is from today only since I was doing a Java download during the restart. So HOW THE HELL DO I FIX THIS?

    Perhaps your Master Boot Record's been damaged. Here's a guide to fixing that:
