    Hi. My problem is as follows: I suspect I've managed to get a virus on my Asus. After the first bootup I created the 4 rescus discs, so I have clean cds at hand. Now to the questions:

    - Could a virus have infected it and should I delete my recovery-partition? (The partition itself is not visible in the Windowsexplorer but it is listed - though with no volumename - in the disc management)

    - Will it be restored with the rescue disks?

    Thanks.

    As of now I have deleted all Partitions using a Ubuntu live cd and once the Asus rec. dvds had finished the rec. partition itself is back again.
