Updating rescue disks
Rescue Disk 3 and others contain pattern files that must be kept updated to provide the most effective virus scanning.
To update the pattern files on your rescue disks:
-
Insert the first pattern file disk into the floppy drive of your computer.
-
Insert the Trend Micro PC-cillin 2002 CD into the appropriate drive.
-
Click Start > Programs > Trend Micro PC-cillin 2002 > Create the Rescue Disks. A message box appears asking for confirmation.
-
Click Yes. The Creating the rescue disks dialog box appears.You can choose where the rescue disk files are extracted or just use the default location. To change where the rescue disks files are extracted, click Change and browse to a different folder.
-
Click Next. PC-cillin extracts the rescue disk files to the specified location.
-
Click Pattern Disk only, and then Click Next.
-
Make sure the Target drive is correct and click Next. The Format dialog box appears.
-
Choose your format type (we recommend Full) and click Start. The disk starts formatting.
-
When the formatting is finished, click Close. The Format Dialog closes and PC-cillin starts copying the files to the disk.
-
As each floppy is finished, remove it and immediately label it. You should also write-protect it by sliding up the plastic button that is in the upper left hand corner of the back of the disk. The disk is write-protected when you can see through both squares in the upper corners. Creating the rescue disks takes about 10 minutes.
-
For each disk, repeat the procedure starting from the formatting step.
-
Click Finish.
Important: Do not restart your computer using a rescue disk that was created for an earlier version of PC-cillin -- data loss can result. Nor should you boot from rescue disks created for one operating system (Windows 95) if you are running a different one (Windows 98, Windows Me).
