Well, one would assume this is also OS specific. I would guess it would
be incredibly hard to make a "disk" virus that would work on greatly
differing OS's like Linux AND Windows. No telling what would happen if
one of these disk viruses got onto a hard drive on a Windows system and
then the drive was reformatted and loaded with Linux.
Most likely you'd have odd crashes or something.
I think the real problem is back to the OS and dynamic link libraries.
