Some time ago I received a 5.25" disk (containing source-code,
OBJ-files and .EXE-files) which I copied (using XCOPY) to the
harddisk.  I have used both the .OBJ and .EXE files.

Later I found out that the disk contained a virus.

SCANV67C reports that the BOOT sector of the disk (placed in A:)
is infected by the STONED virus, but no viruses are detected on
the C: drive !

Questions:
    1) Is my C drive clean ???
    2) Is it safe just to copy the files to a new (clean) disk ?
    3) If 1) and 2) have negative answers - what should I do ?????

I'm sorry if these are trivial (stupid) questions but this is my
first encounter with a virus.
