toyrum Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hi everyone,I've booted my pc from W2K install cd to do a fresh installation.just when the cd was booting the pc, I've had this message:Warning!!! Boot sector is to be modified. Press Y to accept, any key to abort.My Questions:1) Does the W2K installation write something onto the boot sector of the hard disk?2) Is it possible that a virus may be running even when you boot from W2K CD?If so, where could it be residing. Is it possible that a virus is residing in BIOS?3) If the BIOS is infected by a virus, how can I clean it?Please someone comment on this.Thank youtoyrum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
