13.2.2 ESET Antivirus
For creating ESET SysRescue CD, you can select two sources of ESET files to be used by the compiler.
ESS folder
– files already contained in the folder to which the ESET product is installed on the computer
MSI file
– files contained in the MSI installer are used
Profile
– you can use one of the following two sources of username and password:
Installed ESS
– username and password will be copied from the currently installed edition of ESET Smart Security or
ESET NOD32 Antivirus
From user
– user name and password entered in the corresponding text boxes will be used
NOTE:
ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus on the ESET SysRescue CD is updated either from the Internet or
from the ESET Security solution installed on the computer on which the ESET SysRescue CD is run.
13.2.3 Advanced settings
The
Advanced
tab lets you optimize the ESET SysRescue CD according to the amount of memory on your computer.
Select
512 MB and more
to write the content of the CD to the operating memory (RAM). If you select
less than 512 MB
,
the recovery CD will be permanently accessed when WinPE will be running.
External drivers
– in this section you can insert drivers for your specific hardware (usually network adapter). Although
WinPE is based on Windows Vista SP1 which supports a wide array of hardware, sometimes hardware is not recognized
and you need to add the driver manually. There are two ways to introduce the driver into ESET SysRescue compilation -
manually (the
Add
button) and automatically (the
Aut. Search
button). In the case of manual introduction, you need to
select the path to the corresponding .inf file (applicable *.sys file must also be present in this folder). In the case of
automatic introduction, the driver is found automatically in the operating system of the given computer. We
recommend using automatic introduction only if ESET SysRescue is used on a computer that has the same network
adapter as the computer on which the ESET SysRescue CD was created. When the ESET SysRescue CD is created the
driver is included in compilation so the user does not need to find it later.
13.2.4 Bootable USB device
If you have selected USB device as your target medium, you can select one of the available USB media on the
Bootable
USB device
tab (in case there are more USB devices).
13.2.5 Burn
If you have selected CD/DVD as your target medium, you can specify additional burning parameters on the Burn tab.
Delete ISO file
– check this option to delete ISO files after the ESET SysRescue CD is created.
Deletion enabled
– enables you to select fast erasing and complete erasing.
Burning device
– select drive to be used for burning.
Warning:
This is the default option. If a rewritable CD/DVD is used, all the data on the CD/DVD will be erased.
The Medium section contains information about the medium in your CD/DVD device.
Burning speed
– select the desired speed from the drop-down menu. The capabilities of your burning device and the
type of CD/DVD used should be taken into account when selecting the burning speed.
13.3 Working with ESET SysRescue
For the rescue CD/DVD/USB to function effectively, you must boot your computer from the ESET SysRescue boot
media. Boot priority can be modified in the BIOS. Alternatively, you can bring up the boot menu during the computer
startup - usually using one of the F9 - F12 keys, depending on the version of your motherboard/BIOS.
After booting, ESS/EAV will start. Since ESET SysRescue is used only in specific situations, some protection modules and
program features present in regular ESS/EAV are not needed; the modules are minimized to
Computer scan
,
Update
,
and some sections in
Setup
. Ability to update the virus signature database is the most important feature of ESET
SysRescue. We recommend that you update the program prior starting a Computer scan.
