I had the stoned virus and I was getting 1701 (or 1710, I forget) error on bootup. Supposed to indicate a hard disk error, I think. I replaced the hard disk and controller, virus scanned everything that went into the new disk. Ran the machine for a couple days with no problems, then, after leaving it powered down for two weeks, it came up with the 1710 (or 1701, I for...) error again. Now it boots erratically, but it will boot from a floppy, which it wouldn't do with the old drive. (Won't access the hard drive after floppy boot.) Am I stoned or hardware failured? Help, help, hellanddamnation.
