|    I am willing to bet a moderate sum of money that
|    there was in-fact no virus on the old hard disk, or
|    at least on the MBR.  This sounds an awful lot like
|    there was some type of disk-management software
|    like (Western Digital's OnTrack or Maxtor's
|    MaxBlast) written into the MBR.  This software
|    commonly comes with hard drives so that one can
|    get around certain types of BIOS <-> HD size barriers

Wouldn't this show up when booted from the drive in question?

I have seen this software loaded on older computers and it always (in the
past) has a 'title' screen display durring the boot-up of the system?
