Hi,
In another thread of mine somebody suggested doing an offline virus scan using a USB.
First I tried Trend Micro:
I managed to create the USB to boot from and got a screen with an option to select the scan, but once I selected it I kept getting a screen with the folowing message and it wouldn't go any further, I just had to turn the PC off:
Only 64-bit images supported
_
The second one that failed to boot was Kaspersky. That booted but just let me pick the language, then showed a blank screen and didn't go any further either.
Would anybody be able to tell me why these didn't work? I didn't actually need to do these scans in the end as I got alternate help which suggested another method for the scan.
However, I want to know that this feature 'Boot from USB' actually works as it should on my PC. Is there even a diagnostic type tool/test tool I can install to the USB and then run that, purely to see it it boots from it in the proper way?
Thanks
