I was wondering if there is any way I can completely take everything off your Hard Drive. I need to take everything off my Hard Drive because of a virus on it that will not get off no matter what I do.
So any thoughts?

Hi there,
Looks like your boot sector in infected, kindly issue the command below to rewrite Master Boot Sector (MBR) before creating any partition on your physical disk. FDISK /MBR rewrites the Master Boot Record
Thank you both very much.

Thank you for your help. I have one question. I was reading the article you linked and all I am confused about is where you access the Fdisk from. If you could clarify this for me it would be much appriciated.

I apologize but after further research I find I cannot run Fdisk on my XP and I will have to find a way to fix it some other way.

Hi there,
What do you mean by cannot execute Fdisk on your XP? Fdisk is a product of Microsoft, it exist in almost every operating system produced by Microsoft.

Fdisk can be run through the command prompt, but it literally takes everything off your hard disk, so make sure you have all those CD's that came with your system.....

I meant I couldn't run DOS and I don't know how to run Fdisk on XP and I can't find anywhere on the internet to show me how. I really need to know how to execute Fdisk on Command Prompt but I think I got it.

Start->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt

I installed a new hard drive in my PC, setup Windows, Visual Studio,

On the old hard drive are a few ASP.NET applications I wrote with VSS

Of course I could copy the apps to intetpub/wwwroot and enable them in
IIS. It's the .sln and .suo files (which are off in some other

with swap files at the rate of around 3 to 7 GB per week (that's
Gigabytes not Megabytes) . At this rate it takes roughly two months to

Hi,
Is there a way for VB5 to determine exactly where on a hard drive a .exe
file is stored upon the .exe file's first copying to the hard drive? What I
need to know is the exact hard drive sector, cluster, partition, etc.
information so I can use it later on to determine if the file was ever
deleted and restored or moved elsewhere.
Thank you.

Hi all!
I use a internal hard drive as my external hard drive by using a IDE to USB wire.
One day, I plug in the electric, but it won't work!
I plug the electric into a different hard drive, it works.
My hard drive doesn't work!
What do I do from here?
Should I do it myself?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
