Choleepa

Lots of users are worried about the text string "CHOLEEPA" appearing on the second sector (0/0/2 - track/head/sector) on their hard drives. After long investigation, we've found a reason. This is neither a virus nor a Trojan horse, but just a joke - the string is dropped by some software (EZ driver?) that is distributed with Seagate hard drives (over 500M). These disks have the text string being "pre-installed" on the second physical sector.
