I'v just formatted a  friend his computer and at the end of the formatting,
the message "Bootsector Write!!! Possible Virus: continue (y/n),

I chosed yes.

Then when I installed win98, after a while, the same message appeared and
then the computer blocked. Is there something I can do about it?

For the Belgian readers: Ge moogt in 't nederlands antwoorden
