If I am not wrong, it is the Ping-pong virus ( also known as the Bouncing
ball virus). I remove the virus by first copy the original boot record (
it is stored in one of the bad sectors marked by the virus) back to the
boot sector and then erase the content in the two bad sectors.

Plus: I always boot-up the system with a 'clean' DOS before I make any
changes. Otherwise the virus will remain active in the RAM if you boot-up
with an infected disks. You will not be able to remove the virus even
though you format your disk.
