thanks,!

If you have KAV or KIS installed on your system or any friend's PC, just use the distribution folder to get them on your desktop and copy them to your bootable USB stick and ur done.

where is the distribution folder. I didnt found at KAV installation folder.

Do i need to extract the files from the iso image? to burn it onto a disk or just the zipfile unopened?

2 things:
1.
The fixgt2.bat only supports drive letter from d: to k:, which is bad, because my flash drive was m:
I did change it to h:, but a lot of unskilled users can't.

2.
I made the Kaspersky USB Rescue Disk and booted a computer with it.
It went fine until it got to load dhcpcd. After about 20 sek it startet to shut down, without any notice and without scanning the computer, so this USB Rescue Disk is worthless.

Tested succesfully.

Use UNetBootin to build your KAV2009 rescue usb stick.

Download unetbootin from sourceforge.net, launch it, select Diskimage, enter the path of your KAV iso, click OK, done.

When you boot from your usb stick, you'll see Unetbootin menu with some entries.

The right one is "rescue".

If you leave your pc unattended, it will loop around the "Default" option.

To avoid this, open up syslinux.cfg with a text editor, modify first lines from this:

default vesamenu.c32
prompt 0
menu title UNetBootIn
timeout 100
label unetbootindefault
menu label Default
kernel /ubnkern
append initrd=/ubninit root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot quiet
label ubnentry0
menu label rescue
kernel /isolinux/rescue
append initrd=/isolinux/rescue.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot quiet

to this:

default vesamenu.c32
prompt 0
menu title Kaspersky Rescue 2009
timeout 100
label unetbootindefault
menu label Default
kernel /isolinux/rescue
append initrd=/isolinux/rescue.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot quiet
#kernel /ubnkern
#append initrd=/ubninit root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs #cdroot quiet
label ubnentry0
menu label rescue
kernel /isolinux/rescue
append initrd=/isolinux/rescue.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot quiet

Now your usb stick will complete boot even if it's unattended.

Hope this helps.

Does the steps above allows the virus database updates to be saved (persistent changes)?

Thanks,

asking about kernal or somting for linux ...

Thanks for this solution.

Cheers,
Henk-Sjoerd.

Upon attemting to boot from the flash drive: (Created with Gentooo as per instructions)

'Could not find kernal image: linux"

So, fail. ;<

Thanks 4 this tips.
I've been searching another solution than cd boot n i got this.
And it easy to build.

Thank you very much, everythink is perfect!

The ftp link doesn't work any longer, and Kaspersky seems to have removed the file from the relevant directory at:

http://downloads1.kaspersky-labs.com/utils/RescueDisk/

Can the same techniques be used to make bootable USB drives with ISO files from other antivirus programs? Avira makes a rescue program at:

When I run fixgt2.bat and type in the drive letter of flash drive, It says the drive letter you entered was not recognized. Please give me solution

I don't know why it show me that kind of error message
I entered right drive letter, but it show sme
"you entered not recoginzed drive letter"

SAME HERE.
NOT RECOGNIZED DRIVE LETTER..

Is anyone finding that the link for the Gentoo Bootable USB maker isnt download correctly? I only get 487kbs then the download says it is finished and then when i try to open the archive WinRar says that its broken. Any else have this problem? Is there any chance that you could mirror it somewhere else a .zip that is full so that i could download it? Thank you alot.
