    I think I may have gotten a virus from the internet. Now
    when I try to start my computer, it tells me "Operating
    System Not Found". And it won't boot up. I can get it to
    boot from a boot disk I have and runin DOS but don't know
    what to do from there. PLEASE someone HELP! Is there a
    virus program I can run from DOS to find the virus and
    repair whatever is damaged?
