Low level format? Must be some kind of a nasty virus. A high level dos format is enough to take care of a virus. Not to mention, you should never have to low level an ide drive or "bad things" might happen.

Also format /autotest or fdisk /mbr from a clean floppy should remove any MBR based virus' from the machine - a low level format is never reccommended on an IDE drive - that is a featrue from when the drives did not have their own on board controller (RLL and MFM tech)
