Can an HD be damaged beyound repair by a virus. If
yes, what are the symptoms?

A PC I put together (Cyrex 333- WD68M HD) has major
problems. It was working very well for about a year
until I downloaded some MIDI software...this produced
eratic behavior with error messages related to
"Explorer".

First I tried reinstalling win95...same results. Then
installing a previous 586 MB...same. Both cases it
would start up ok...then when I logged on errors would
occur..."explorer bla,bla".

I reformated the HD, reinstalled win 95, but results
were only slightly better...eventually the same type
errors would crop up.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.
