![]() Maybe I'm just making trouble for myself. (Every one of my previous laptops has gone kaput because of hard drive failures.) That has the advantage of keeping me operational if my hard drive becomes infected or otherwise unoperational. ![]() I think I'd rather keep WindowsXP on the hard drive and run a Linux distro like Gentoo from a USB flash drive. > better off doing a proper installation by following the Gentoo Guide. but if you want to install it permanently on the hard disk, you would be What do you think about the idea of re-formatting the flash drive and re-installing the Kaspersky rescueusb.iso using UNetbootin or another of the live USB installation programs that allow you to add persistence? Would that be a solution? Would KRD still function if I did that? Maybe it's set up so that you can't change or add anything?Īny ideas on how I go about adding to the ISO, or to the op sys? For example, can I somehow change the "read only" status to rw? And would I have to change any of the boot files, like grub.exe, ldlinux.sys, and syslinux.cfg? The only things I've been able to save are text and htm files, because KRD puts them into folders outside the ISO and op sys folders.Īlso, I saw a scrolling line during the KRD flash drive boot that says something like "liveusb is read-only". Also, the /portage/ folders are empty and the command is missing in BASH, and I believe these are necessary for adding applications (?). None of my bookmarks or configuration changes remain when I re-boot into the KRD flash drive. However, I've noticed that KRD doesn't save anything. There'd be no problem there, since I have around 3.5Gb free space on the flash drive. > Yes, you can add any applications you see fit, but the LiveCD/USB image will Can I delete the entire Kaspersky Rescue Disk directory after doingh a scan and rebooting into Windows? If not, which subdirectories or files should I delete? The KRD added a \Kaspersky Rescue Disk\ directory to C: on my hard drive that contains 58 subdirectories with 188Mb in over 100 different files. ![]() > After the scan is completed this is no longer needed and takes up space. Check and remove the updates file that KRD creates on your WinXP filesystem.
