Operating system Windows 2k



SYMPTOMS:



[a] (floppy disk) The disk in drive a is not formatted

Windows was unable to complete the format

BUT.... from the DOS prompt CAN be formatted!



[c] (hard drive) Works normally



[d] (zip drive) The disk in drive d is not formatted

Windows was unable to complete the format

Was working yesterday when others weren't but not today!



[e] (CD ROM) The disk in drive d is not formatted

Windows was unable to complete the format

[f] (not used)



[g] (multimedia) Works normally



[h] (secure digital) Works normally



[i] (compact flash) Works normally





RECENT CHANGES TO THE SYSTEM:



Removal of SystemSuite 4 (firewall has not worked for a while)

Installation of InoculateIT

Meticulous sweeping for viruses and their removal:

Removed Warpigs.B & repaired system

Removal of belt.exe



Any help solving this mystery would be much appreciated.
