Concerning to:
  • Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009
  • Kaspersky Internet Security 2009
  • A special service has been added to Kaspersky Anti-Virus version 2009 which helps to create a rescue disk to recover the system.

    The disk may come in handy when system files are damaged after a virus attack and when the operating system cannot be loaded. In this case using Rescue Disk you can load your PC and recover the system to its initial state before it has been damaged.

    Warning Before you create a Rescue Disk make sure the driver of your network card or modem is included in the drivers which are delivered with the setup disk of Windows XP Service Pack 2. Otherwise anti-virus databases will not be updated in the Rescue Disk mode!

    The following is required to create a Rescue Disk

    • OS Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista installed on your PC 
    • Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation CD 
    • PE Builder installed 
    • Clean CD-R or CD-RW 
    • 200 MB free space on HDD

    Step 1: Start Rescue Disk creation wizard:

    • Open the main application window 
    • Select Anti-Malware under Protection
    • In the right part of the window click the Rescue Disk icon 
    • Click Create Disk > Next 
    • Click the Browse button next to the field PE Builder installation folder. In the open window select the folder into which PE Builder has been previously installed 
    • Click the Browse button next to the field Output folder. In the open window select the folder to temporary store the files to burn the Rescue Disk. The folder should be created on a disk. If a disk image has already been created, enable the option Use previously saved files. In this case the Rescue Disk creation wizard will use previously created disk image.
    • Click the Browse button next to Path to Windows XP Service Pack 2 Installation CD field. In the open window select CD\DVD-ROM drive in which the disk is inserted or the folder in which the necessary files are stored. 
    • Click Next to continue

    Information The following folders are shown on the figure:

    • installed PE Builder - C:\pebuilder3110a 
    • folder to store files of the disk image - C:\Rescue Disk 
    • path to Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation CD - D:\

     

    Rescue Disk creation wizard will start copying the necessary files

     

    Step 2: Create ISO-file to burn a Rescue Disk

    • In the open dialog window enter a name of a new ISO-file or specify the path to the already created file by clicking the Browse button. 
    • Click Next to continue.

     

     

    Step 3: the Wizards asks confirmation to burn the Rescue Disk.

    In the open dialog window choose Burn now or Burn later, or you select CD-ROM drive which will be used to burn the Rescue Disk. Click Next to burn the disk.

     

    Click Finish after the Wizard has burnt the Disk.

    Information The dialog windows for Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 are the same but with corresponding product names.
