[david sandell <davesandell@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

i had a simular problem too, only i think mine was fairly terminal - and hardware based rather than virus, for a little while i had been getting "whrrrrr clonk!" from my main hdd. it finaly died this morning - just as my parcel arrived from dabs.com with 2 new 200GB hard drives in it!
good timing - or what!
all back up and running now.

Hi Kevin,

My Windows 2000 Pro went a bit haywire yesterday morning, Outlook was ok
to a certain extent, but it wouldn?t go into Netscape saying that it had
generated a problem and would be shut down by Windows. We?d been
receiving shedloads of spam emails to Dave?s email account and the spam
filter was having a field day! 
We rebooted it and during the start up screens it basically got to the
point where it came up with an error message (cant remember exactly
what), so we put in the Win 2k CD rom and it couldn?t repair, so the
hard drive is well and truly knack?d. My ISP host (also a very good
friend of mine) suspects a virus got in before the virus checker had had
a chance to update and immunise my pc against it. He?s sorting me out a
new hard drive (one better then the old 5400rpm 20gb) and is gonna
recover as much as possible from the old drive then send me a new one
with?..XP installed ? yes, I?m finally getting XP after years of saying
I wouldn?t touch it. 

I?ve reinstalled Win2k on my other hard drive and its running ok so far,
but my new drive will be here in a few days so it?s only temporary.

Seeya Sunday,

Claire

Hi Claire and Stuart

Did the disks just fail, dead, no-more. or was it a message "DISK BOOT
FAILURE"?

Kevin
