I had the same thing happen....
with a new drive after I moved all my files onto it!
I don't think it's Blaster, it must be an XP MAJOR ISSUE!
Never had this happen with 2000. I am a heavy
user/editor. XP at home has been sketchy!
Don't reformat unless you want to loose your files. I'm
trying to recover mine with software. So far I've seen
the files there, but I havent figured out the downloaded
software in order to recover.
