Hi,

You need to create what Norton calls the "Anti-Virus Rescue and Emergency"
diskettes.  There should be an option in the Norton Anti-Virus program
group or somewhere within the Norton Anti-Virus program.  Once you create
these floppies you can boot to DOS from the first one and then run the
command line program (navdx) to scan for viruses.

You should probably review their knowledgebase for more detailed info...

You might want to search for  2001090715331006  which is a document
entitled "How to create a Norton AntiVirus Rescue Disk set on an uninfected
computer and then use the Rescue Disk set to scan an infected computer"


Good luck,

Kevin
