A: Drive Wants To Format All My (good) Disks

[KeyserH]

Wasted = when I try to read the disk a computer gives the following message (aprox): This disk isnt formatted yet, Do you want to format it now?

The wasting only happens on my old computer (it has windows 98). On this computer, a newer one with XP, disks dont get wasted. Disks that worked good on this (xp) computer, get messed up when I use them (save files on them) on the other (98) computer.

The problem started on school with the same errormessages, with somebody others disk. after that, i tried my disk on another pc on the same network and it gave the same error. I put the disk in both my computers and the (98) one started wasting other disks too.


Ok, probably I said a lot of things I allready said in other posts in this topic, but its hard to explain.

I think its a virus. I checked this pc (xp) for viruses, norton found one. The other pc (98) isnt connected to the internet so my virusprotector couldnt be updated, it didnt find any viruses.
