When I had a computer shop some years ago, I saw several hard drives that viruses had made inoperable, reformat or not. They did this by somehow messing up certain locations on the hard drive where start-up files must be recorded. With no ability to record the start-up info in these locations, no start-up is possible. The hard drive could be used as a secondary drive for storing info, but not a primary drive. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
