Re: Virus question
If you used fdisk from the C: drive after booting to DOS, and you didn't reboot inbetween, it "could" be possible for the virus to be memory resident, and reinfect the MBR.

Re: Virus question
It's not possible. After doing Fdisk, Your FAT is overwritten and everything is lost alongwith the virus. This is the ultimate step to remove the virus if you don't find the antivirus.

Re: Virus question
It is possibel, if you booted with an infected bootdevice to fdisk the partition it can be put back when formating the drive.
I'm not 100% sure, but there are virusses that nestel themselve in the MasterBootRecord(MBR) the MBR is not cleaned if your remove partitions and create them again. With the fdisk /mbr command the MBR is restored to original.
HTH,
Ronald

Solutionhowever, it's much more likly that you got reinfected from a floppy, or other media.
after a recent battle with one virus or another, i was finding infected files months after i had clean the entire system, some on floppies, CD, my usb key, spare harddrives, Zip disks, you name it.
