| Boot Virus on New HD I was "attempting" to install a new HD when I copied everything over, started the computer and got a message of a boot virus. Question is how do you get a virus if you're not on the internet or don't have any other disks in the drive and how is there a way to fix it? Windows XP. Thanks.      |

| Re: Boot Virus on New HD Enter your Virus and disable "virus Boot protection" or some such wording. Motherboards ave the ability to detect anything writting to the boot sector of a drive and assumes it to be a virus and prevents it. This causes grieve when trying to load an OS since they NEED to write to the Boot sector. "T.
