I've never heard of Linux live-CDs. Is there a chance that you could please explain how they work.

Thanks again.

I can boot into Windows XP and successfully remove it; this has happened twice now.

Have you been surfing naughty places again?

This is exactly why I put my OS on a partition and use Acronis to do a bare metal backup. If anything gets fubared, I just boot into Acronis, format the partition and restore the image.

I haven't had to do this recently, but it has worked well for me. It takes a little planning so that you install and configure all your apps, update drivers and the like before doing the backup, but to me, its much easier than trying to remove a virus.
