2 Hard drive question

[bblb4]

Hi:
First of all, thanks very much for your forum. It’s a great service.
I have a machine with 2 hard drives in it. Both of them have bootable operating systems on them (W2K, & Linux), which I boot interchangeably by changing the boot sequence in the BIOS. If one hard drive gets a virus, trojan horse or worm, can these things migrate from one hard drive to another through the system bus, or from partition to partition on the same drive?
Thanks again

Only if the virus, trojan horse or worm is designed to do so and if it's designed to work under different operating systems (which I've never heard of one doing before). I would say that the chances of a virus, trojan or worm doing this is very, very slim.
