Boot using a Windows 7 boot disk. When you get to the first opportunity to
click on something, hit shift-F10. This places you in a command prompt of
an X: disk, which is a RAM disk version of "minwin". You can access files
on the C: drive. You can plug in a USB stick, either with a stand-alone
cleaner that doesn't need install, or to copy off important files before you
re-format.
The alternative is to use Barts-CD (or equivalent) to build your own ram
disk including whatever you need.

Subject: [windows2000] Antivirus boot disk
I have a friend that has infected the hell out of his machine with a bot or
something.
I run a Mac and Windows 7 with security essentials and have not battled a
virus in years.
I seem to remember that somebody offered a downloadable iso you could make a
boot disk from that would do a really good job of cleaning the computer. I
think it was f-secure but that looks to be from 2008.
Can anyone recommend a really good tool or tools I can pass along? I have
passed along the online scans, AVG links etc. But it seems like there would
be a really good boot dick for this out there somewhere.
any tips or ideas are greatly appreciated. I am curious also to hear
everyone's techniques these days since it has been a while since I have
gotten my hands dirty.
Thanks!
Greg
