Worst Virus Ever ---cnn Announced
 
PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!


A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee and no vaccine has yet been developed. This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored.

This virus acts in the following manner:
It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title:
"A Card for You".

As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so
that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN.

This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself.
So don't open any mails with subject: "A Virtual Card for You." As soon as you get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender !!!


Please pass this mail to all of your friends.

Forward this to everyone in your address book. I'm sure most people, like myself, would rather receive this notice 25 times than not at All?.



ok then,

take care,

bye,
TrashMan

I think not... Heres how to fix a del boot sector.

----------------------------

How can I recover a deleted dynamic NTFS or FAT32 volume in Windows XP or Windows 2000?

When you delete a dynamic volume, the OS erases the volume's file-system boot sector (sector 0) and removes the volume entry from the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Disk Management snap-in private region database. However, as part of this process, the OS leaves the rest of the drive intact, including the data. Both FAT32 and NTFS store a backup copy of the boot sector. You can copy this boot sector back to sector 0 and restore the volume as long as you know the original volume size.

To recover an NTFS volume, perform the following steps:

Open the Disk Management snap-in (go to Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, and select Storage).

Recreate the original volume by right-clicking the unpartitioned space and selecting New Partition from the context menu; specify the exact size of the original volume in the process, but don't format the volume (you must know the original volume size to recreate the volume because the Disk Management snap-in rounds partition sizes).

Use dskprobe.exe to recover the backup boot sector for the NTFS volume from the end of the deleted dynamic volume (because you're restoring a dynamic volume, you might need to use dmdiag.exe to find the backup boot sector). See the Microsoft article "Recovering NTFS boot sector on NTFS partitions" for an explanation of how to copy the boot sector.

After you rewrite the NTFS boot sector, quit Dskprobe.

Go to the MMC Computer Management console Action menu and click Rescan Disks to mount the volume for immediate use.

To recover a FAT32 volume, perform the following steps:

Open the Disk Management snap-in (go to Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, and select Storage).

Recreate the original volume by right-clicking the unpartitioned space and selecting New Partition from the context menu; specify the exact size of the original volume in the process, but don't format the volume (you must know the original volume size to recreate the volume because the Disk Management snap-in rounds partition sizes).

Use dskprobe.exe to recover the backup boot sector for thedeleted dynamic FAT32 volume from sector 6 of the logical volume and write it to sector 0 of the logical volume. See the Microsoft article "Chkdsk Does Not Use Backup Boot Sector to Fix Corrupted FAT32 Boot Sector" for an explanation of how to copy the boot sector.

After you rewrite the FAT32 boot sector, quit Dskprobe.

Go to the Computer Management console Action menu and click Rescan Disks to mount the volume for immediate use.

Whee, don't click on viruses in e-mails.

Sorry, I've been Ol since '96, but even then i can't see how it can take people more than 1/4 second to go, "oh, virus e-mail".
