I did get all sorts of persistent and found this link for the Recovery CD.

Since AVG is my favorite AV program, that's the only one I tested.
Using the link in my last post, I downloaded the ISO to the boot CD, burned the CD using "ImgBurn" and booted up my main system with it. Being very familiar with DOS type menu's, getting to the scan and running it was a piece of cake.

I was glad to see some other Utilities on the CD menu as well as the virus scan, such as Memtest86.

It looks like it will be a very useful CD, for any tech, myself included.

Good Luck,
Old Casper
