I appreciate the link to the list however none of the listings answer my question. To clarify, the virus discovery was recent and prior to the hard drive having problems (bad sectors)
I guess what Im more interested in is:
Can a hard drives' BIOS/Firmware be accessed in such a way to cause it conflicting instructions, make it execute those instructions say, 100 trillion times until it just starts burning out? Is it theoretically possible or not?
