Exclamation OT: Need virus help

Sorry for the off-topic post, but I know there are some professional computer experts on the list:

The boot sector on my hard drive was somehow overwritten last night, I think by a virus. Problem is, my rescue disks are from a point before I upgraded my hard drive and operating system, so that route has not worked.

Can anyone give me any tips or advice on how to access the data on my hard drive? Right now, the it looks like my system thinks I have a 4 GB drive (the old size), when the new drive is 20 GB.

Is there a way to get a somewhat generic set of instructions for the boot sector to access the drive correctly?

I am desperate and cringe when I think of all the Porsche information I will have to re-collect!

That's the last time I fail to update my rescue disks.

The system is a PII 366 laptop, running Windows Me and Norton Anti-Virus.

I would appreciate any advice anyone can provide, my e-mail address is ohecht@earthlink.net.

Thanks,

Olivier
