    I have this problem with Linux, I cannot find my drive C:. I can only find drive D:. I do realize it is not listed as "drives", but I am using a bootable virus scanner. It always just scans D: but not C:. Help me out?

    I'm assuming that you're in Linux and trying to scan a Windows Partition?

    If so, then you won't find any viri with the Linux scanner on a Windows partition.

    What Linux Distro are you using?

    More like trying to scan the other hard drive.

    Well, ok, that wasn't very clear to me.

    Is it connected internally, externally, or what?
    Please be more clear with your post.

    [nobbc]linux does not use drive letters, it uses devices

    if your hard disks are IDE/ATA/EIDE/PATA then the disks will be /dev/hd[n][x] where [n] is a letter and [x] is the partition number eg. /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb3 /dev/hdc2 and so on
    If your hard disks are SATA/SAS/SCSI then the disks will be /dev/sd[n][x] where [n] is a letter and [x] is the partition number eg. /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc6 etc.[/nobbc]

    Actually you will. Most linux AV programs are primarily designed to detect windows virii.
