Hi
You don't have to wipe the HDD clean or even replace it.
You can create a bootable "recovery" USB drive from A/V software in an uninfected PC .
Use this to boot the laptop (without starting Windows, change boot order to boot from USB) and it will scan, detect and remove viruses from the HDD.
Avast free is one there are others that do the same

Daniel--
Virus infection should not require physical replacement of the hard drive. You can wipe it clean and start over. What is your operating system? Do you have the original install media (CD,etc.) for this system? What is your auxiliary boot system: CD or USB?
Good luck,
Russ
