Sorry, I should have explained why I want to do this. It seems every time a friend asks for help with his computer, it's so choked with viruses that it takes hours to do the simplest task. There's never a backup, so reformatting is not an option. I need a bootable CD to clean up the hard drive enough to make a backup of the data files in a reasonable time. Frequently, the old computer is going to the recycler after the files are retreived, so reloading does not come up at all.

Andre', thanks for the tip. I'll take a look at the F-Secure CD. Does anyone else have experience with an Antivirus Rescue CD?
