Chances are that you have a master boot record.  Check your system properties
under performance, if you have drive compatibility mode - you got a virus.  Try
booting off a clean disk (not made from your 'puter) with fdisk and at the
prompt type fdisk /mbr.  Try a virus scanner too.

Hope this helped
