Virus ?
I use a dual-boot Win98 - RH Linux machine , on a LAN
of Windoze machines.
When my machine was booted to Win98 , my friend , whom
I can trust , copied a folder into my machine (his machine
runs the latest version of Norton Anti-Virus 2000 .. I mean
that he downloads the latest updates).
We subsequently shutdown our machines , and packed off for the day.
The next morning when we switched on my box , only the Win drives
C: and D: can be seen. E: and F: are missing !
I boot to Linux and cfdisk-ed and got the following error
message from cfdisk :
FATAL ERROR : Bad Logical partition 9 : Partition ends before sector 0.
Press any key to exit cfdisk ....
And cfdisk showed no output ... I mean they did not show me anything ...
just the above error message.
hda9 was D: , mount commands for hda9 work well. Same under Windoze.
But as I said the problem is with the E: and F:
Am I right in suspecting a Boot-sector Virus ?
Can Windoze have a Boot-sector Virus that Norton Anti-Virus
does not detect ?
Please guide me on this.
Warm Regards,
