I was hit by the Chernobyl virus this past Monday. Personally, it was a very difficult and discouraging experience since i had a book ready to publish on m hard drive and no back ups.
I took my computer to a local company where they reformatted the drive and replaced the bios.
Unfortunately, i am now learning that this wasn't necessary. For a few extra bucks, i could have gotten my data recovered.
Well, better late than never. Atleast i can now warn my other friends and associates regarding the steps they should take in recovering.
