" i think it has only managed to take out my MBR. "
If your sure that only your MBR has been hosed you might try the fdisk /mbr trick with a windows boot disk. I'm just guessing here, but the DOS fdisk HAS to be good for something!

Yeah, I suggested that, but he said he couldn't get a hold of it. See Crunchy's third post.

anyway to get linux boot disks?
Crunchy(Cracked)Butter:
It doesn't matter anymore, i am totally fucked behond all fucking reprive. I've lost everything! How the fuck does a worm format a linux partition as well? I've lost my linux partition as you can see.
Its not ideal but i have got a backup of my college work from a few weeks before...
Still not happy though and i am totally depressed at the rest of what i have lost.
2000 mp3's, 5 CD's worth of Simpsons and Futurama episodes all downloaded with 56k modem. The mp3's are mine from my collection but i got to copy them all over again.
FUCKING HELL!!!

Dood that sucks. Sorry I couldn't do much more...what kindof MP3's were they? (bands I mean) Maybe I have some of them.
Do you still have 56k? Or do you have something faster now?
When a worm goes after the base-level stuff (MBR, CMOS), anything on the computer can get fucked real quick.
Things to avoid to protect against virii:
1) Windows (duh)
2) Anything having to do with MS Office, especially Word and Outlook.
3) File sharing (especially Kazaa), and warez over file sharing.
4) Warez in general.
5) Having 1 partition with everything on it (made this mistake a while back)
6) Open ports (especially 80 nowadays)
