Using McAfee VirusScan Creating a Rescue Disk Rescue Disk is a utility that creates a bootable floppy disk that you can use to start your computer and scan it for viruses if a virus keeps you from starting it normally.

It is unnecessary for NTFS partitions. To create a Rescue Disk: 1 On a non-infected computer, insert a non-infected floppy disk in drive A. You might want to use Scan to ensure that both the computer and the floppy disk are virus-free. (See Manually scanning for viruses and other threats on page 26 for details.) 2 Right-click the McAfee icon, point to VirusScan, then click Create Rescue Disk.
