I do not need a source if a virus expands to the ends of the hard drive and all of the sectors are full meaning the drive is taken up and as we all know ,what windows expands what do you think is going to happen you are going to develop bad sectors and your drive will what eventually fail. I had this happen on several ibm machines were the virus ruined the drive as a result of taking all the sectors filling it to 100 percent capacity. So the source, is the machine worked 100 percent, the virus entered and upon re install of windows or trying to re install windows. The machine failed, when checked it was full of bad sectors so their is your source experience. Argument done last post on this issue. Quoting Justin The Cynical <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
