[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1423896, member: 46727"] It's not a virus because a Windows virus can not infect the Mac partition and there are no Mac viruses in the wild, only malware. What likely happened, is when you attached the drive to your friend's PC which is probably formatted to NTFS, it corrupted the drive. Reformat the drive, however, that will destroy all its data so backup what you can before doing so. [/QUOTE]
