Ok dude... at what point did this message come up.. if you were installing windows at the time or doing anything that could modify how the unit boots then thats perfectly normal...

most bios's support boot sector virus protection so that a virus cant touch that section of the hard drive.. however the bios cant tell if its a virus or a legit program trying to install a loader

and that happens when you install any windows or any other operating system...

what you can do is go in the bios and turn off the virus protection and install the os..

in the case that you got it refurbished it should be wiped out anyway so i dunno its possible you got one with a virus but its no big deal... put it in and wipe the drive with boot and nuke... or just install windows like i said before and that will overwrite any virus's..

its probably nothing dude
