http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ - Allows you to use anti-virus programs in the Windows "pre-installed" environment, which is kind of midway between DOS and Windows. Weird but, after a Windows 2000 and XP disks are mounted, they start up a non-gui version of Windows that this environment takes advantage. You can load all sorts of data recovery apps in this environment. You should have a license for the Windows pre-install environment you are using.
http://www.s2services.com/hosted-freeware/csfd.zip - "Clean Start was designed with two applications in mind. First, it has proven very effective in controlling inadvertent infection of customers' systems by technicians, software trainers, consultants, and others who carry disks to customer sites. Such infections normally occur when systems are booted with floppy disks left in the floppy disk drives. An infected Clean Start diskette will provide a clear indication (a yellow on red splash) that both the diskette and the customer's hard drive are infected. Remedial action can be taken right then and there, so that the agent does not walk away, leaving the infection in place."
http://invircible.com/iv_tools.php#FreeDOS - "Certain viruses like INT_CE and W95.Spaces, take advantage of a vulnerability in MS-DOS based operating systems, starting from MS-DOS 5. The exploit is known as the circular partition trick. This is an extremely frustrating condition, as the computer with a tricked drive will not boot anymore, not even from floppy. Even experts are misled when faced with a circular partition and will replace the hard drive, believing that the hardware is at fault. The only way to revert a circular partition is to boot with other than MS-DOS, like PC-DOS, or FreeDOS, and fix it with a disk recovery tool such as the NetZ ResQ utilities."

Developer Provided Description - "Bart's PE Builder helps you build a "BartPE" (Bart Preinstalled Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC maintenance tasks.
It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on. This will replace any Dos bootdisk in no time!
PE Builder is not a Microsoft product and does not create Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment ("WinPE"). Using PE Builder does not grant you a license to Microsoft WinPE or to use the Windows XP or Server 2003 binaries in a manner other than stated in the End-User License Agreement included in your version of Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Microsoft has not reviewed or tested PE Builder and does not endorse its use."

From www.freedos.org: "FreeDOS aims to be a complete, free, 100% MS-DOS compatible operating system"
The FreeDOS utility offered will create a boot disk, with FreeDOS system files, to support FAT-16 as well as FAT-32 partitions. The boot disk can be used as a free boot disk for accessing Windows 95/98 and ME systems. A 16 megabytes RAM drive is created on booting from the FreeDOS floppy, which makes it suitable as a rescue and general purpose virus recovery boot disk."

Comment - One of Bob Green's freeware. Note Bene - Visit Bob Greene's Site. He has a low priced programs for recovering unbootable disks called BootMaster Partition Recovery and also has the nice NTFS browser for DOS that can be used with the same. Freeware makers need to be supported.
Please note: Honestly the commercial software and services is the route you will sometimes have to take to recover your data. Generally, it's a lot easier to find free programs for file repair for non-Microsoft products than Microsoft ones. You can explore them by following the links to the left.
On those occasions that you try the freeware and it doesn't work, the software in these pages will appear not be worth the time and effort you put in and this can be frustrating. I try to point out at the top of each page, what I see is the likelihood that and difficulty with which freeware can recover your data.
The Google Adsense Ads displayed on the pages should lead you to the standard commercial software and services available for the problem you are having. You can also try the commercial links by clicking on the Navigation Bar by the file type name on the left. It's also here.
To see if the program works before buying, always be sure to try the demos of commercial software first. Also the difference in prices for software that does the same thing, for instance recovering PowerPoint Presentations, can be a large range like with PowerPoint case $50 - 299. If possible, try several software solutions before buying. For services, be sure there is a no data, no fee guarantee, and a recovered file preview available.
If you need help, I charge $22 per incident. You can E-mail me at socrtwo@s2ervces.com,but because of finances and legalities, I only use free methods.
