A user brought my an external 40 MB Hard Disk yesterday which she said
"wouldn't work". After using various SCSI tricks I got the dosk to
mount. It replicated itself 6 times on the desktop? It wouldn't mount
my internal drive, so I still have to figure out how to get both
drives up in order to get the data off and then reformat. Just want to
check with Virus-L people whether this behaviour has ever been seen
and whether it conforms to any descriptions of ugh, virus thanks,
gordon
