- ST0.EXE
-
- ST0 is a program which Saves Track 0 of your hard disk for later restoral.
- This is intended as a post-mortem recourse against the so-called "Columbus Day
- virus" which activates on 10/12/89 and writes to the partition table on the
- hard disk.
-
- To run ST0: Prepare a BOOTABLE floppy in drive A: and run the ST0 program.
- If all goes well, there should be a file on your floppy called TRACK.000.
- This file is the binary image of cylinder zero of hard drive zero. Save this
- diskette and in case of damage to this area, you can later restore it using
- the complementary function RT0.EXE.
-
- RT0.EXE
-
- RT0 is a program which takes a file called A:TRACK.000 and writes it to your
- hard disk, starting at the absolute first sector of the drive. You must
- assure that the TRACK.000 file is authentic, as checks are done by RT0.
