I can burn one of these CDs for him. He said it would only run in Safe Mode but now it won't even do that. Claims all restore points are gone and what ever caused this took out his McAfee also. I'm aware of Avira, BitDefender, F-Secure and Kaspersky rescue CDs and there may be others. I skimmed the features and Avira updates theirs through out the day while the others you have to be able to get online to update which could be a problem. Other than a reformat, which would take a day since I'm sure he only has XP SP1 cd, plus I don't know if he has the cd for all the drivers, what other tools (portable) can I help him with? Thank You!

ypu meanhe only have access in safe mode?
also you can download sp3 and patch it to the original OS disc.
also i think there are some programs that can get the drivers in safe mode...

I agree with Hazelnut the freeware Avira AntiVir Rescue System is very good, easy to make on a clean system, and quick at scanning too.

Does anyone know if I could make my NOD32 SysRescue disk and use that? It does mention that it uses your NOD username and license which it would not find/see on his system.
