How are you sure there is no virus/hijack/trojan/rootkit at work here? What does a partitioned hard disk have to do with this? You may need to explain your setup in more detail.
I'd agree with kaled. Your description sounds like a seriously compromised machine. i am sure there is no virus. My hard drive is partitionned and the problem occurs on the other part of the hard drive too.
