Are there virii/trojans that will survive a format and reinstall of
Windows XP PRO/Home using the XP setup (through the cd)? If I have a
previous install of XP and run through setup to reformat(NTFS) the
entire partition and then reinstall XP, Does this not rewrite the master
boot record, after wiping the partiion clean?

Thanks in advance
