I need to do more research but it may be a long haul. I hand carried a floppy between two trustworthy parties. The floppy had the Form boot virus on it (from 10 years ago) and the machine it infected has Window XP. There is a Deform tool for the floppies and apparently to fix the hard drive you just do a "sys c:\" from a boot disk--for Win 9x. What do I do for windows XP?
