I recently have been having frequent disk crashing problems which seem
to be on the boot sector.  I have a system disk which I always boot
from.  Recently, this disk has crashed 20-30 times within the last
5 months.  I find this a bit unusual since none of my other disks have
crashed, and I have changed this disk 2 times since this problem first
occured.  I use the backup of this disk to fix the crash.  This problem
started occuring when I used SUPERBOOT 2.3.  I even created a totally
new startup disk from scratch, but the crash problem still persists.
Not just a single file goes bad, but I can no longer boot from this
disk.  Has anyone had a similer problem?  Does this look like a Virus?
