I have had three computers in for repair lately with the same fault, the
hard drive is messed up not formatted, OS missing, when I use a data
recovery programme everything is there, it seems to be such a coincidence is
there some virus going around?

Is there some particular program you are installing on all three computers?
Or something that is in some what the same for all three of them?
Are you using any kind of protection, AV, PFW and/or FW?
Are you making sure that no one can run prog outside you're knowing?

After this has happen have you made an clean reinstall of the OS's or
are you using an image?

<GUESSING>If you make use of an image the problem can be on that in form
of some virus,
but I don't think it is an boot sector virus (they are a little bit
tricky to
install these days), virus for the boot section was almost only for floppy's
back in the happy 80's.
But it can be some of all this virus that overwrite you're .COM files
and than
destroy you're partition-table.</GUESSING>

Do NOT POST HIJACK LOGS TO USENET - Follow the proper directions from
the download site (if it's a valid site it will explain exactly

Posting HJLogs to Usenet only corrupts searches for poblem items.
