UBCD4WIN

[Charles Jones]

You will come across 2 versions of it.  One is a "creator" that lets you 
build your own bootable disc. The other is just an .iso file that was 
already created by someone else, which is technically not legal due to 
M$ licensing, but that is the one I used and frankly in an emergency 
situation I did not care about being legal for the 3 hours that I used 
it for. If windows didn't suck so much I wouldn't have gotten so 
thoroughly infected and I wouldn't need just a specialized boot disk to 
clean it...but I digress :)
