Arthur Gutowsky writes that the 1701 indicates a defective sector 0 in
your drive. WRONG !!! This error indicates lack of power, due to a
poor connection, or fluctuating mains supply. The best solution is to
power the machine down and up again. If it does'nt help, open it up
and make sure all cables and cards are tight in place. If that does'nt
help yet, get a technical person to check your power supply and your
disk. Any how, it certainly DOESN'T mean a defective sector on disk,
but rather some defect with the electrical circuicitry.

Enjoy your virus.. It's fun... :-)
