- Depending upon what PC virus(es) you infect SoftPC with, you could:
- - Ruin the data in the Mac file that represents your PC hard drive, but
- cause zero damage physically to your real Mac drive.
- - Possibly (but doubtfully) crash SoftPC, because it encounters an error
- trying to boot from a damaged drive.
-
- I encountered this exact problem once, and, because it happened during the
- early stages of using SoftPC, I just recreated a new C: drive, and trashed
- the old one.
-
- By the way, why is this in comp.sys.mac.wanted? Don't bother replying, just
- think about it. Hmm.
