If You just need to get the drive going again and don't care about data
loss.... delete any dos partitions on that drive (2nd drive) then repartion
it to ?? 100% if You wish. then activate the dos partition... this is the
same reason I vowed never to use Norton Anti-Virus ever again... Norton
wiped a drive twice because it read a disk overlay as a virus and wanted to
clean it... without any way to abort ! Is this what happened to You?
Hope I've helped ~~~~ JP Smith
