Hi Long Wind, I think if I suspected a virus on one of my disks I might
be tempted to zero fill the drive with the manufacturers utility. Then
install stretch from CD if the machine won't boot from usb. If the drive
is very old, or won't pass the manufacturers utility then I would replace
it.
I still use xp and 2k occasionally, but I have disabled all the network devices.
I don't think using the internet on those would be a good idea.
Good Luck!
