Point taken. Sorry. Please answer my questions though. I reiterate:-

Do you, personally, feel it unecessary to delete ones partitioning on a
single HD (thus
losing all data) before re-partitioning, formating and then reinstalling
from scratch?

Perhaps malware can remain resident in other areas inside a computer, not
just on the HD.

Is this possible? If so, where else could it hide ........ and for how long
after power curtailed?
