I have a PC attached with virus(unknown), I formatted the C drive, but cannot delete the Primary Partition, a message shows that a virus in the BootSector, but how can I clean it?
do I need to replace a new HDD?
After I replace a new HDD, does the virus stay in the BootSector?
Please help.........

Thank you for all your ideas, but I cannot delete the primary partition and clean the BootSector.

After I deleted the primary partition, hit"ESG" to exit "Fdisk", a mesage says:"Error writing fixed disk...."
then goes back to A prompt, I typed "Fdisk" again, check on partition, the primary partition still staying there....

Also I did more than 3 times Fdisk/mbr, it doesn't help.

Student2's idea I want to try it, but how can I make FAT32 to FAT16 over the A Prompt?

This morning I tried to clone the disk, found out that there's no virus in the HDD,
I put a new HDD, it acts the same like the old one, so now, what is wrong there?
mother board? IDE controller? or ......... ???
do you have any clue for that?
