The only way to >disinfect a hard drive is to redo the low level format because the For those of you with IDE hard drives, contact Seagate. They are selling Disk Manager (version 4.1 or later is needed) for $6.00. This version of Disk Manager will format the boot sector, partition table, and the data sections of the disk, but not the error table. You might want to ask Seagate and your vendors for details. I am not endorsing Disk Manager, but merely reporting what Mr. Ebdon has reported as what worked for him. Thanks, Derek, for the reminder. I hope your machine is working much better now. ;-) Frank E.
