DVM,
I personally have never had of a virus do physiacl dmage to a harddrive (and just thinking about it don't know how it could *** I am not a genoius, there might be I jst don't know how***) but if it modifies the firmware I don't see why it wouldn't act like a damaged drive. I have however had similar problems when HDs crashed and the crash took out other drives.

What viruses did you find?
