Unknown boot virus (PC)

[wolfgang a goerlich]

I'm at my wits end with this one. On accessing the a: drive, characters
of both the file names and the files themselves are randomly replaced. I
run McAfee, and it reported no virus activity. I then replaced the
floppy, yet the corruption of files continued. I was also having problems
with Win95, so I attempted to reinstall it from the CD-ROM. However, it
got past the initial hardware scan, then reported a boot virus and
locked up. So I borrowed a copy of Dr Solomons, but it also reported no
viruses. Finally, in desperation, I reformatted the drive. Only now, the
format command reports there is a virus, and quits. Also, the same floppy
drive corruption continues. Anyone have any ideas of what I could try
next? I even replaced the hard drive, but my other one was also infected.
I'm completely baffled.
