[pchelpers] Re: magi star virus help

There is a version of disk doctor that works with fat32 as well.  I've got
it somewhere I think.

What does fdisk/mbr do?  Maybe Johnathon could boot off a floppy and try.

The virus is called W32.magistr  (not magistAr) and there is a good write up
on www.symantec.com.  Johnathon might find that there is more damage than an
un-recoverable hdd since this virus can overwrite cmos as well.  My guess is
that it is better to just grab the bull by the horns and get on with a fresh
install - then install an anti virus program!!!
