BIOS infected

[NewsGroupfor Windows]

A friend of mine thinks he has a bios virus. He had a message about
virtumonde, then his XP crashed. Since then, even after swapping hard disks
he gets the following error whenever he tries to reload XP
file ntfs.sys caused an unexpected error (4096) at line 5091 in
d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup.c

Any way to tell if virus or bad equipment
