Hi!

I can't try the test Wade suggested since I don't (or better don't
know that)  I) have the virus. The friend of mine who loste the
disk through it told me that it would spread through the diskchange,
when you insert a disk and the drive activates.
Not nice if it works this way. He is now using the following method:
Use a nonstandardbootblock (like one with an into) and copy it to all
disk. After some days you get used to it, seeing this when you boot
and recognize at once that the bootblock has changed. 

C u
