Boot Sector Virus! Try FDISK /mbr and if that doesn't help, find a
16-bit anti-virus program to scan your boot floppies, your hard disk and any
other floppies in your collection.
I've seen it dozens of times. If it isn't a boot sector virus, please tell
me what you discover later on, I'd be interested to know.
