<<Sure sounds viral to me.

It did to me too. However, aside from the PC that has a worthless hard drive right now, I checked all of the other machines (and the server) and ruled viruses out -- unless the virus executes and then destroys itself so it cannot be detected and is not detectable by the PC-cillin software, both of which I seriously doubt.

I did not try FDISK. I will do that next. Heck, it took me a while to remember how to create a boot disk -- it has been so long since I either needed one or had to create one. It finally came to me, but it was one of those, "crap, I knew how to do this once" moments.

Thanks for thinking about my predicament.
