subject: DOS that can read NTFS/XP paritions?

From: shadow{at}shadowgard.com

Is there a DOS that I can boot from a floppy that has drivers to 
allow access to NTFS partitions?

For the occasional badly infected system that folks bring to me, I 
used to bott from a DOS floppy and run F-Prot for DOS (yes, it 
requires putting in 4 floppies to get all the definitions loaded :-)

This would let me find all the infected files on Windows 95/98/ME 
systems.

Alas, it's useless for Win NT and Win XP.

And when you've got a system that can't even finish booting to 
windows, you *can't* use a Windows based AV program.

Thus, I'm hoping that there's a way to get accessto NTFS partirions 
from DOS.
