[QUOTE="jim lin, post: 277839, member: 2065"] hello over here you asked about a virus [url]http://malwaretips.com/threads/potential-virus-in-hdd-partition.35193/[/url] and say "I have tried 3 disks and 2 HDDs i noticed on the HDD that there is 2 partitions after format. one is a system partition and it had 84MB free of 100. Is this a virus?" it do's not sound like you wiped the hard drive you just formated it or there would not be partitions left over after a format have you tryed to write 0's to the hard drive then format it? since you have Hirens Boot CD there should be something on it to wipe the hard drive and write 0's to it for this i use Darik's Boot and Nuke [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/dban/[/url] doing this can take HOURS so make sure you have time then after wiping the hard drive format it and try to install again i know it can be frustrating but is how we learn you could try and boot from a Linux Distro cd and see if it runs ok on the pc :) James [/QUOTE]
