My dad was exporting bookmarks from mozilla to the a drive, and the computer crashed. After that, he restarted and was stopped bc there was a virus on the a drive. He took the disk out, but now when you boot the computer, it just hangs after post. You just get the blinking curser, but no windows starts up.
I virus scanned the floppy and norton got this:
Source: The boot record of drive A: is infected with the Form virus.
link
i also noticed it had some startup files, command.com and autoexec.bat and something else, and i deleted those.
from what i can tell the virus shouldnt have caused this kinda problem... i booted into the winxp recovery console. chkdsk wouldnt run. and fixboot scares me, a google search revealed some people lost all their data using it
any idea what it could be? help help!
