Windows cannot find boot.exe

Hi I'm new here and I hope I've posted in the right place. When I double click on the E:\ icon in my computer (which is a partition of my hard disk) and also my portable hard disk's my computer icon, I get this error message "Windows cannot find 'Boot.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."

I am using an IBM Thinkpad T42, running on Windows XP Pro SP2. Thanks for any help in advance.

 

Does the same thing happen when you right click the drive and the 'Explore"?

 

BOOT.EXE is a virus.

No

Thanks for your reply

 

I see from the malware forum you don't have a virus. I can't post there so I am adding this here.

Sorry if I let you in for much unneccessary virus hunting, but boot.exe is a nasty one if you have it. Better safe than sorry I think.

And thank you Chas as well I have certainly learned something too.
