Sure would!!
I am beginning to think that this has become the Chuck Norris virus though. Everything I throw at it gets thrown back at me and can feel the pain and hear the “pshh” sound like in Walker Texas Ranger when hes kicking some guys head in.
If I did use Linux to format the HDD, it would probably chew up Linux and spit back out, all the while teleporting the bad virus to all known Linux system in the world, destroying the system as we know it.
Seriously, though, this is a tough one.
