How[1]? If it was new it would be unformatted, or, even if it was
formatted to (say) FAT32, how would your reformatting to ReiserFS during
installation have left something on the disk still accessible as a valid
directory entry - and something capable of launching itself under Linux?
How[2]? For Winblows to write to a ReiserFS partition means it would need
to understand the structure and mount it, right? I wonder what the
chances are of M$ building this support into Winblows, never mind someone
including it in a virus.
