[vox-tech] extended ascii characters

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Jimbo (evesautomotive@charter.net):

> A few years ago my wife caught a malicious virus that not only wiped out the hard drive but also labeled it with a blinking smiley face.  I couldn't reformat it since I couldn't duplicate the name of the hard drive. I find that this is an extended ASCII character but unable to duplicate it via dos. 

If you use a Linux maintenance disk (floppy or CD), you won't have to.
One such is the Tom's Root/Boot floppy:  http://www.toms.net/rb/
