Recomendations for removing the Stealth_Boot virus is to
create a virus free boot disk and scan disk. After
booting at he A:\prompt you are to execute the following
command:
BOOTSCAN C:/boot/clean

I need to know how to create such a boot disk for W2000.
Whe I try booting from a DOS 6.22 disk and running the
command I get the message "Unable to initialise XMS" and
the virus seems to remain. I am hoping someone out there
has already had to clean this virus and can help me out.

Thanks -R
