i know im off topic, but i need some help fast
my friend is on a 98 box and when he tries to boot he gets an error "invalid system disk. replace the disk and press any key". He does not have a floppy in the drive. From a little searching on the net, im beginning to think that he has a boot sector virus, but im not sure. How do i go about checking?? is there a good free virus checker that i can put on a floppy and boot from? I dont want to rebuild the master boot record unless i know that there is a virus there for sure. If its not a virus, anyone know what else it might be?? anything other than whats listed at the KB ?
TIA
