If you suspect a virus, start with the ulimate bot disk. If you suspect an actual hardware problem, start with SpinRite.
Thanks for assist. I'm on my netbook with no CD, so my only option for downloading either program is on my home apple laptop or Mac desktop. Since I need the "fix disc" to be compatible with windows vista, do you think I could have an issue with downloading program from Apple & then trying to run on my gateway?
