I called Dell. They were instrumental in helping me reinstall
drivers...etc...It appears that I formatted the disk so windows could
reload...Well now I know to back up everynight. Anyone know what could have
happened. I don't think it was the worm, it'd shut down abruptly. Dell said
they were 50% sure it was a virus and the other 50% was a hard disk error. I
hibernated last night though. *Says chris confuzed* I'm running XP.
