I had an infection of the stoned virus and my hard disk started giving the 1701 error on bootup. I changed out the hard disk and controller with a new, low-level formatted drive/controller. I scanned all software for viruses and eliminated any that showed up. When the new disk was loaded with the old files, I scanned it and found no viruses. Now the new disk is giving me 1701's intermittently. Do I have a hardware problem or a virus? Thanks, Jeff
