I would think you suffered from catastrophic disc failure, not a virus. I think a virus would have caused the disc portion to turn green............

No it's definitely not a Virus ....... it's just been vistarized and torrentially exhasted & corrupted plus the firmware has become disassembled ... this causes a condition called break-out.

If you install the latest Norton Security Suite, that will put it all in order again, as if by magic ... well that's what they said at PC World anyway ... might be worth doing a defrag as well.

This the one from your youtube vid?

Or did you just go on a mad spree and decide to destroy all your HDD's?
