Re: [CGUYS] STRANGE VIRUS? AGAIN ... and again
HI again ... My son is STILL trying to reformat his HDD and delete the partitions. Can you explain how to do that? How to delete the partitions that is. He's running Windows 7. Would the Ultimate Boot Disk be a good thing or even more confusing for him now? As usual... Many thanks in advance! Gail Miller - Original Message - From: Rev.

He must use it and run Fdisk to see and then remove the partitions. Stewart At 02:41 PM 12/27/2009, you wrote: HI again ... My son is STILL trying to reformat his HDD and delete the partitions.

Re: [CGUYS] STRANGE VIRUS? AGAIN ... and again
Gail, It will be a little faster for you to google the answers to some of the tech questions like how to delete partitions with Windows 7 http://www.google.com/#hl=ensource=hpq=how+to+delete+partitions+with+Windows+7aq=faqi=oq=fp=e8aec8f715611eed and use us for the bigger picture stuff. I myself ... like a few others... would not be limiting the fix to delete partitions, reformat and reinstall.No way Jose! As some of us said... if you do just that and do have a boot sector (pretty common) or BIOS virus (less common) ... you will have completely wasted all of your labor ... because the virus/ trojan whatever will just re-infect your OS in no time flat. And if these procedures are too much for you to execute you might be better off spending $100 or whatever to have a computer repair shop do the comprehensive fix. Or as someone else said... send the computer back while you still can and start over... db Gail Miller wrote: HI again ... My son is STILL trying to reformat his HDD and delete the partitions.

Re: [CGUYS] STRANGE VIRUS? AGAIN ... and again
Yes, but you and a few others that think boot sector viruses are common are either deluded or just ignorant. Did you even bother to try to find a common Windows 7 boot sector virus before you posted this statement? The shame is that with so much noise in the thread she got totally swamped and missed the few actual helpful answers.

Re: [CGUYS] STRANGE VIRUS? AGAIN ... and again
He should be able to do that while re-installing Windows, although I haven't installed Win7 yet. When you boot from the installation CD, read the prompts/instructions carefully. They should give you an option to remove the existing partitions, one or all. Fred Holmes At 03:41 PM 12/27/2009, Gail Miller wrote: HI again ...

Booting from the W7 disc should be sufficient, but I can't say for sure as I have only done that with XP. With XP, after booting from the disc you will have an option to erase the hard disk. If you see more than one partition, be sure to zap them all. Then create one new partition and put the OS on that. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
