Kaspersky Rescue Disk Kaspersky PURE includes a service which allows to create rescue disk designed to scan and

disinfect x86-compatible computers.

It is required when a computer is so damaged that the anti-virus solution or disinfection tools

(for example, Kaspersky AVPTool), run under control of the operating system, fail to disinfect a

computer. Efficiency of such disinfection enhances considerably as malicious programs in the

system do not get control during the boot of the operating system.

Rescue disk is an .iso image which includes the following:

► system and configuration files;

► a set of utilities to diagnose the system;

► a set of additional utilities (file manager and etc.);

► Kaspersky Rescue Disk files;

► anti-virus databases files.

A computer with the damaged operating system is booted from a CD/DVD-disk or a USB-

medium (a corresponding device should be installed on the computer).

Creating Kaspersky Rescue Disk

You can create the disk image (an .iso file) with up-to-date anti-virus databases and

configuration files. A source image can be downloaded from Kaspersky Lab servers or copied

from a local source. The file created by the Wizard is saved in the path specified during the

work of the Wizard.

To create a Rescue Disk, perform the following actions:

1. Open the main application window.

2. At the lower part of the window click the Additional Tools button.

3. In the Additional Tools window in the Kaspersky Rescue Disk section click the

Create button.

4. Kaspersky Rescue Disk is created with the help of the wizard. The Wizard consists of

a series of screens (steps) navigated using the Back and Next buttons. To close the

Wizard once it has completed its task, click the Finish button. To stop the Wizard at any

stage, click the Cancel button.

5. The Create and record Kaspersky Rescue Disk on a CD / DVD or USB flash drive

window of the Wizard contains information about the Rescue Disk that will be created by

the Wizard.

If the Wizard detects an existing Rescue Disk ISO file in the dedicated folder, the Use

existing disk image box will be displayed in the first window of the Wizard. Check the

box to use the detected file as original ISO image and go directly to the Updating disk

image step. Uncheck this box if you do not want to use the disk image that has been

found.

6. The Select disk image source window is skipped if you have checked the Use existing

disk image box in the first Wizard window.

At this step, you should select the image file source from the list of options:

► Select Copy ISO image from local or network drive if you already have a Rescue

Disk or an image prepared for it and stored on your computer or on a local network

resource.

► Select the Download ISO image from Kaspersky Lab server option if you do not

have an image file, and you want to download it from the Kaspersky Lab server.

Make sure that the Internet connection is established on your computer. The latest

version of an image is downloaded from the Kaspersky Lab server. The file size is

about 200 MB.

After you have selected an image source, click the Next button.

If you have selected the option to copy the image from a local source at the previous

step (Copy ISO image from local or network drive), you should specify the path to the

ISO file at this current step. To do this, click the Browse button. After you have specified

the path to the file, click the Next button. The disk image copying progress is displayed

in the Wizard window.

8. When copying or downloading the ISO image is complete, the Wizard automatically

proceeds to Updating disk image.

Disk update procedure includes:

► update of anti-virus databases;

► update of configuration files.

Configuration files determine the possibility of starting the computer from a removable

disk or CD / DVD written using a rescue disk image provided by the Wizard.

When updating anti-virus databases, those distributed at the last update of Kaspersky

PURE are used. If the databases are obsolete, it is recommended to update the

program and restart the Rescue Disk Creation Wizard.

To begin updating of the files, click the Next button. The updating progress will be

displayed in the Wizard window.

Specify a data medium for recording the disk image:

► Select Record to CD / DVD to record the image on a CD / DVD. You will be

prompted to specify the CD / DVD on which the image should be recorded. Then,

the ISO image will be recorded on this CD / DVD. The recording process may

take some time so please wait until it has completed.

A special program is needed for burning. For example, Nero.

► Select the Record to USB flash drive option to record the image on a

removable drive. Kaspersky Lab recommends that you do not record the ISO

image on devices which are not designed specifically for data storage, such as

smartphones, cellphones, PDAs, and MP3 players. Recording ISO images on

these devices may lead to their incorrect functioning in the future. You will be

prompted to specify the removable drive on which the image should be recorded.

Then, the image will be recorded on this removable drive. The recording process

may take some time so please wait until it has completed.

► Select Save the disk image to file on local or network drive to record the ISO

image to the hard drive installed on your computer or another one that you can

access over a network. You will be offered to specify the folder into which the image

should be recorded, and the name of the ISO file, after which it will be recorded on

the hard drive. The recording process may take some time so please wait until it has

completed. Later you will have to record this file on the CD/DVD disk or a USB drive

on your own.

Creation and record of a rescue disk is completed.

Starting the computer from the rescue disk

To boot the operating system from the rescue disk, you should use a CD / DVD or removable

drive with a rescue disk image (.iso) file recorded on it, and start the computer. If a CD-disk

cannot be inserted into the CD/DVD drive, then start up the computer and next insert the CD

into the CD/DVD drive. Insert the disk quickly, otherwise the infected operating system starts

booting not from a rescue disk.

1. Insert a medium drive with the recorded disk image into the corresponding slot and

switch the computer.

2. If a disk cannot be inserted before computer is enabled, in this case first, switch on the

computer, and then insert a disk into the disk drive. Try to insert the disk into the drive

quickly so the computer would boot from the rescue disk and not from an infected

system.

3. Immediately after the computer restart, press the Delete key several times to enter

BIOS1.

4. In BIOS in the Advanced BIOS Features menu set CD/DVD-ROM (or USB-drive) as

the first boot device (the BIOS interface may vary depending on its version).

5. Exit BIOS saving the made changes.

1 BIOS is a part of the system hardware designed to provide access to computer hardware and the connected

devices.

6. When a screen with Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 appears, press any key within 10

seconds, to prevent your computer to boot from the hard drive.

7. Using the keys to move the cursor in the left part of the screen, select the language of

the graphic interface. Press the ENTER key.

If no choice is made for some time, English is used as a default language.

Next, the folders for anti-virus databases, reports, the quarantine and auxiliary files are

searched (created). By default, folders of a Kaspersky Lab product, installed on an

infected computer, are used (ProgramData/Kaspersky Lab/AVP12 – for Microsoft

Windows Vista/7, Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Kaspersky

Lab/AVP12 – for earlier versions of Microsoft Windows).

Pay attention, the folders Application Data in Microsoft Windows XP and ProgramData

in Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows 7 are hidden by default. Read

KB3580 (http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208281592), to know how to enable

display of hidden folders.

If the application’s folders are not found, an attempt is made to create them. If the

folders cannot be found or created, the kl.files folder is created on one of the drives.

8. Next you are offered to select from one of the following boot modes:

► Kaspersky Rescue Disk. Graphic mode loads the graphic subsystem

(recommended for most of the users).

► Kaspersky Rescue Disk. The text mode loads the user text interface provided by

the console file manager Midnight Commander (MC).

► Boot from Hard Disk.

9. Using the Up/Down arrows on the keyboard select Graphic mode. Press the ENTER

key.

Carefully read the text of a license agreement for Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 and if you agree

with its conditions, press the C key on the keyboard.

When the operating system has booted you can start working with Kaspersky Rescue Disk

10.

If the operating system of the booting computer is in the sleep mode or its work was finished

incorrectly, you will be suggested to mount the file system for usage (prepare the file system

tor usage in the operating system) or restart the computer. In this case select one of the three

variants:

► Continue. If you click the Continue button, Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 continues

mounting the file system but the file system can be damaged.

► Skip. If you click the Skip button, Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 skips mounting of the

file system. In this case you can only scan boot sectors and startup elements for

viruses.

However, some file systems can be mounted.

► Restart computer. In this scenario you can boot from a hard drive and finish work of

the operating system correctly.
