If you need to use Rescue Disks to restore
your system
w Rescue Disks are available only for Windows 98/Me.
Sometimes a virus or threat prevents your computer
from starting normally. Some viruses can only be
removed if the computer is started from a clean disk, not
the infected hard disk. Often, a Norton AntiVirus alert
tells you when to use your Rescue Disks.
You first need to determine if your Rescue Disks are
current. This means that you have created or updated
your Rescue Disks since you did any of the following:
1 Added, modified, or removed internal hardware
1 Added, modified, or removed hard disk partitions
1 Upgraded your operating system
1 Updated virus definitions
If your Rescue Disks are not current, you can still use
them to remove viruses from your computer. When the
Rescue Disk screen appears, use only the Norton
AntiVirus task.
To use your Rescue Disks
1 Insert the Basic Rescue Boot Floppy Disk into drive A
and restart your computer.
The Rescue program runs in DOS.
2 Use the arrow keys to select the program that you
want to run.
A description of the selected program appears in the
right pane of the Rescue program. Your options are:
3 Press Enter to run the selected program.
