My husband sold his HP on eBay.

Before doing so, he reformatted the hard drive and reloaded WinXP on it from the recovery discs. A diagnostic showed no bad sectors on the hard drive.

The buyer is claiming that a virus wiped out the hard drive and is "hoping that the motherboard isn't affected."

So I ask: Is it possible for a virus to do this? Wouldn't a reformat and reload wipe out a virus?
