reformat hard disk
My computer got a virus (I think). It was acting crazy
and then it shut down. When I turned it back on it came up in DOS and gave a message like "hard disk not found." Can I reformat my hard drive and reload my programs. I realize that all previous info will be lost, but I'm just desperate to save my computer at this point. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks |

' Hard Disk not found' or 'Operating System not found' ??
