I use a dual-boot Win98 - RH Linux machine , on a LAN of Windoze machines. When my machine was booted to Win98 , my friend , whom I can trust , copied a folder into my machine (his machine runs the latest version of Norton Anti-Virus 2000 .. I mean that he downloads the latest updates). We subsequently shutdown our machines , and packed off for the day. The next morning when we switched on my box , only the Win drives C: and D: can be seen. E: and F: are missing ! I boot to Linux and cfdisk-ed and got the following error message from cfdisk :
FATAL ERROR : Bad Logical partition 9 : Partition ends before sector 0. Press any key to exit cfdisk .... And cfdisk showed no output ... I mean they did not show me anything ... just the above error message. hda9 was D: , mount commands for hda9 work well. Same under Windoze. But as I said the problem is with the E: and F: Am I right in suspecting a Boot-sector Virus ? Can Windoze have a Boot-sector Virus that Norton Anti-Virus does not detect ? Please guide me on this.
