its disk mirrored. both the partitions C & D drives boot sector is infected.

tried with McAfee emergency repair disk but unable to clean. first of all its not detecting the virus from bootable floopy. where as it is detecting the virus when i scanned it from hard disk.

Either try a different virus scanning software. Many of them have trial versions available or start from scratch and rebuild. If you rebuild, you will have to force it to write over the boot sector.
