What do you meen "lost everything"?
Do you know what virus you got? Norton do fail to find some viruses...
Did you use windows 9X or windows 2k? I dont get it... why not boot to
DOS and copy the RAD or BIN (depends what backup-prog you used) to
a floppy or something. If its a boot-virus you can always clean the boot
of the floppy with some other anti-virus program after that. Viruses =
dont
normally attack files that are not executables, so the backup would not
be infected by any virus... If you have trouble booting from C, there is =
a
chance that it will work to boot from a floppy and then run =
diagnostics...
I have never lost any data from a virus "destroyed" harddrive... there =
always
seems to be some way around the problem. I hope that you did not format
the harddisk to clean it from the virus... that would have been a =
mistake.
If you did, or there is no way to get the backup from the drive... there =
are
copies of RAD and BIN-files on the internet that may work... but I =
strongly
suggest that you try HARD to get your own file before using any of them.
