people, lets try to keep virus topics under virus sections, shall we ? thank you. :winkgrin:
now, how do you know you have a virus ? Like Doonz said, if you get a virus, you use anti-virus products to get rid of it...If you got a disk boot failure, you most likely have a boot sector infection (virus). But, it might not be a virus because there might be lot of other things causing this error, besides a virus...settings in CMOS might be wrong, for example. Are you able to get into CMOS ? if you can , check settings in there. Make sure they are correct....
Partition magic is mainly used for partitioning purposes and it might not help in this case...this also happens when you HD dies...Are you able to swap HD's and see if it will boot ?
