Hi all,
Is there any virus can actually damage the Hard drive physically make it unusable? Can it also fool the manufactures diagnositic tools make it report false findings like too many bad sectors?
I have two relatively new hard drives that got these problems, one can't boot or reinstall windows at all and other can boot on both windows xp and windows 7. but the windows OS report a lot of errors when I try to open programs and I try to reinstall windows 7, it go through but the last part take very long time like it hit bad sectors. When it bootup it take much longer time than before.
Thanks.
