rid of boot sector virii w/FDISK /MBR? If not, what is a good way of
getting rid of them?
fdisk /MBR is very dangerous unless you are absolutely sure what you are
doing. If the machine is affected by any virus which moves or encrypts the
partition table then this method will lose you all of your data. The same
will happen if you are using any disk remapping software such as DM to get
around size limits.
