I'm pretty sure that only very experimental versions of Linux include the
ability to write to an NTFS partition. That is, Knoppix will NOT allow you
to delete or rename files on NTFS.

The best procedure to do this would (I think) be to purchase the tool from
Sysinternals that allows you to boot from a CD and have write access to
NTFS partitions. I have never tried it.

However, the couple of times that I've had a look at a hosed system I have
convinced myself that an amateur trying to outsmart a virus writer is a
complete waste of time. Copy data files off the partition, then wipe it.
