Yesterday I got a Virus and I had to formate my PC. My first try was succesfull but as I installed
the Chipset drivers (and so) I restarted my machine and I got a bad massage "You got a software
defect, please contact your manufacturer" OK I tried to formate my PC a second time, but know
another bad massage "Please insert the WindowsXP CD-ROM" but it was still inserted. OK next
try..but now the formating need 7 hours... normally it took 45 minutes! I copied the CD to my harddrive
but at the next restart I got the message "No Windows installed"... Some people mean i've an
Boot Sector Virus. I don't know whats to do next. Low-Level formatting didn't work because
of the embedded SATA controller of my nForce 3 250GB Ultra chipset.
