Message-ID: <8803210451.AA22169@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: 21 Mar 88 04:32:28 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 13 I recently have been having frequent disk crashing problems which seem to be on the boot sector. I have a system disk which I always boot from. Recently, this disk has crashed 20-30 times within the last 5 months. I find this a bit unusual since none of my other disks have crashed, and I have changed this disk 2 times since this problem first occured. I use the backup of this disk to fix the crash. This problem started occuring when I used SUPERBOOT 2.3. I even created a totally new startup disk from scratch, but the crash problem still persists. Not just a single file goes bad, but I can no longer boot from this disk. Has anyone had a similer problem? Does this look like a Virus?
