[Sussex] HDDs

[Mark Barber]

Gentlemen,

Is there anyone on list with a good knowledge of HDDs and boot processes?

Only my daughter managed to get a boot sector virus on her Me machine 
and when I restored it using NAV it disappeared completely from the boot 
sequence. Rescue disks cant find it either though the BIOS can so no hw 
fault. Have tried fdisk /mbr without success and Knoppix but that won't 
boot either for some reason. I suspect the partition table has gone awol

Yes I know she should use Lx but she's only 15 and knows more than all 
of us put together (apart from HDDs!) and besides she has all her photo 
collection on the drive.

Any help much appreciated.

Mark
