Last week my dvr drive stopped working. It says that the driver is missing or corrupted. I've tried updating it, replacing the physical drive, change all chords, and since I didn't have another SATA port available I've tried a portable dvr on a usb port. Upon "installation" of the new driver, the portable dvr did not work either. I've also scanned for viruses.

Could this be a bios virus?

Thanks.

I've never heard of a virus that does that, and I don't think they do exist because of the tiny amount of victims that could be affected. It is most likely a file corruption because of an interrupt of power or a glitch in the software.

I kind of thought that already, thanks though. Any suggestions on where I should go from here. I haven't dug out my windows disk and tried the repair option, but short of flashing the bios that's all I can think of.
