I'm having issues w/a pc that may be virus related. The problem is that none of my drives are accessible any longer so I cannot reload the OS and I cannot boot to the prior OS. Could the BIOS be corrupted? If so, how do you reload the BIOS?

If you wanted to reset bios:
There should be a jumper somewhere on your motherboard located near the BIOS Battery. 1st move the jumper onto the reset pins(this should be shown in your motherboard user manual). Then wait 5 seconds. After take out the BIOS battery (if possible). Wait 5 seconds. Replace battery and boot computer. see what happends. :) good luck
