Virus , bad hard drive or both

I do have one last question,
If I were to take out the hard drive an hook it up as an external drive to another computer and format it from there. Would that be taking a risk on infecting the other computer?

Should be OK.

NTFS does not use MBR (master boot record)

Oh, really?

Then why do people use a Win98 boot disk to fixmbr on a NTFS system ?


Still one of my fav tools when I have HDD troubles .


Boot the PC with a Win98 boot disk (http://www.bootdisk.com/),
then run the command fdisk /mbr
This works on FAT and on NTFS partitions.

All (AFAIK) PC hard drives use the MBR.
MBR and NTFS have nothing to do with eachother.:blink:
