Boot records

Here's the deal.  I'm working on a friends computer running Windows ME.  When booting 
up to desktop, the start button won't work and other problems.  So I slave the hard 
drive to mine and run virus scan using Nortons.  It only has 2gb used space on drive, 
after 6 hours of scanning, still not done.  I stop the scan and view the report and 
it says that it has 5 boot records with one master boot record.  Whats the deal? 
 I've been watching it scan and every so often it will add a "\" between "windows" 
and "option" in the directory tree but if I go to the windows folder I don't see 
any problems.  Whats causing this?  Does it need to be formatted and reinstalled 
again? Safe mode don't even work properly.
