S1834 and Win2000 Pro

I have the same kind of problem with my s1854 and other computer too.

The fixmbr and fixboot didn't work, (XP or 2k) and the fixboot didn't even
complete.

My hard drives are IDEs and I suspect that the mbr and boot sector has been
infected. I have tried every possible method I know and all failed to wipe
the virus out. The other computer is K7SEM..

I tried to clear cmos data and flash the bios on both computers, after the
flashing, the s1854 (bin file s1854 v107) could not reboot due to the
failure of the bios process.

The K7SEM could boot but still no idea how to clean the virus on MBR and
boot sector, cause it effectively infected the cmos right away.

Any idea how to get rid of virus on the MB and ide drives would be greatly
appreciated.
