Background:
I have some sort of rootkit virus and am trying to remove it. What I've found using fdisk, is that there is a nested Dos partition on the drives and I get error messages such as the one listed below. I've tried removing the partition and wiping the drive clean but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick.
Question:
Can some one explain what is causing the error message seen below, "Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary" and how to fix it?
Note: This error is not specific to this particular partition and I see this regularly on any/all partitions that are infected.
