Recently a machine was brought in to us which failed to boot from any h/w source. The drives were each removed from the PC and tested individually on a working PC. Each except the HD worked. When the original HD was returned, the failed HD was addedto see if it could be accessed/seen – it could not. On removing it and rebooting, the working PC failed to boot just as the first failed PC did. It appeared that no power was going to the Drives. (PC 1 – FD, HD, CD => PC 2 – HD, CD (Draw would not open))
Question: Is it possible that a virus is the cause of this by residing in the BIOS/RAM
if not, then what??
if so, is there a known solution???
