We had a combination of viruses render our mirrored hard drives inopperable, causing us to lose our information. We were able to restore the information from the tape back-up but one of the Hard Drives does not work properly, despite repeated attempts to format the disk. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A VIRUS COULD CAUSE PHYSICAL AND PERMANENT DAMAGE TO A HARD DRIVE? My research indicates that either the IDE or ATA controllers could have been affected and are causing the malfunctions. Is there ANY information on this?
