Glen,
In that case, what you want to do is to first use print to print out
your partition table. Make sure you have parted set to print in sectors.
Then do the steps I talked about. Immediately after using mklabel,
recreate the partitions exactly as they were, again making sure the
start and end sectors match. That will destroy the MBR and anything else
that might have that virus, as well as preserving the data. Also make
sure to recreate the filesystems on any partitions where you think the
virus may have been so that the boot sectors on those partitions will
get overwritten. Viruses can sometimes hide there too.

Yes means no and no means yes. Delete all files [Y]?
