Imminent death.
est:
moved this into the computery section
Bunnyman:
If all else fails, giant hard drives are quite inexpensive these days. Check the local Fry's Electronics (if you have such a beast) or somesuch. And Pricegrabber.com is a good second.
And imaging software is nice too. Makes life a lot easier...when my 40GB died, I did an image over to a 150GB...was totally painless with Acronis TrueImage.
moley:
completely copy your hard drive onto a new one (or one you can borrow) and see if it comes up with the same error, if it does then it's a virus, if not, your curent HD is screwed
Rizzo:
Yeah but that means giving your new harddrive the virus too...
I recommend that when you do get setup again you get Zonelarm fire wall, AVG virus filter, Lavasoft Adaware and then use Panda Active scan on your computer periodically. I've used those 4 in tandem and I've never had a virus. ZoneAlarm can be tedious to setup, especially if you're playing games online but it's definately worth it in the long run.

Who cares? In order to image the drive you have to wipe it, so if the virus carries over then just wipe it again. It's not like there's anything on there that got ruined.

I don't know much about cloning software for PCs so thanks for mentioning the name. All I knew about is Norton Ghost; are there any other good options?
