Structure of Boot Sector Changes
Hey Gang,
Here's the problem. I am running Win98SE, w/2 hd's 1st is WD 20GB, 2nd is Seagate 40GB. I used Diskwizard from Seagate to install the second hd. Bios has been updated.
Every few days the structure of my boot files seems to change. When this happens I run AVG Antivirus's "Restore All" boot sectors fuction (from the AVG boot disk), and it functions normally.
What's happening is that before I use the Restore All function my system resources go to 91% on bootup and my RAM is 511mb. When using Restore All from AVG it goes back to 92% on bootup and RAM is 512mb.
Yesterday I had to use Restore All function again. This was after I was trying to install a game that seemed to have a corrupted file. I never installed the game but I noticed that resources were back down to 91% and RAM was 511mb.
I've boot-scanned for viruses, I've checked with PestPatrol and with Adaware and unless I replace the boot sector with AVG's "Restore All" function from the boot disk, I will still get this lessing of resources and RAM.
Does anybody know what's going on?
Thanks,
Orangeman
