Virus Warning -
When enabled, the BIOS will warn the user when any program attempts
to write to or format the boot sector. If an
attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the
system and the following error message
will appear:
You can accept or abort this operation.
Note:
This feature is designed to guard against viruses that modify the boot sector on hard
disks. However, many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the boot sector
table, as well as partition and format programs, will also trigger this warning. If you will be
running such a program, you can disable Virus Protection first, or choose “Y” to accept the
boot sector modification when this message shows up.
! WARNING !
Disk boot sector is to be modified
Type "Y" to accept write or "N" to abort write
