Thanks Barry, I've been trying to figure that part out by reading the docs. I formatted a clean floppy and saved the boot block from that but when I applied it to the infected disk, virusz now tells me the bootblock is of unknown type and the disk is NDOS.

I'll give it another go and try copying the bootblock off the WB3.1 boot disk and saving that to clean future disks. I have no other floppy bootblocks that I know of that I could use for such a task.

I'm basically going through the BAmiga archives and cleaning them up so I can safely check out the contents. I tried to do this in emulation but vrusz crashes in wb31 winuae. I saw another thread about that particular problem and I don't get it so I figured I'd do this on my real miggy.
