Are there virii/trojans that will survive a format and reinstall of
Windows XP PRO/Home using the XP setup (through the cd)? If I have a
previous install of XP and run through setup to reformat(NTFS) the
entire partition and then reinstall XP, Does this not rewrite the master
boot record, after wiping the partiion clean?
