    Boot Maitenance and Repair Toolkit
    ==================================
    Computer boot mishaps are quite common. They usually manifest themselves
    with the loss of access to the hard drive. While all your programs and
    data may still be safely stored in the hard disk, you may find yourself
    in the stupid situation of being locked out of your hard drive. In many
    cases, users opted in similar situations for re-configuring and
    reformatting their hard drive. In the majority of cases, this was
    totally unnecessary and could be resolved in minutes, with the ResQdisk
    kit.

    The RESQDISK package consists of the ResQdisk program from the
    InVircible disaster recovery and anti-virus package, revision 6.01D,
    plus the on-line help file with its help engine. Altogether, a fully
    functional and useful toolkit.

    The following is an excerpt of the WhatsNew file of rev. 6.01D, in
    regard of the new features in ResQdisk.

    Product upgrade, 6.01D new features of ResQdisk
    ===============================================
    Improved editing features in ResQdisk. Additional editing features were
    added to resQdisk. The sequence ^E ^F will read a file into the sector
    clipboard, while ^E ^D drops the content of the displayed sector into a
    file. The combination ^E ^Y will decrypt an encrypted sector into the
    clipboard and display it on screen. The later is especially useful for
    the recovery of damaged hard drives, like from the Monkey virus. It is
    indispensable for rescuing hard drives lost to inappropriate
    disinfection procedures, like with fdisk/mbr, or inadequate antiviral
    products. The above further improve ResQdisk as the best disaster
    recovery and boot-antiviral utility.

    Improved "track 0" maintenance features. ResQdisk is used in the rescue
    diskette for backing up track zero of the hard disk to floppy and for
    restoring track zero from file to the hard drive. The "track 0"
    functions are now available on-line, with the visual inspection of
    ResQdisk, in both SeeThru modes (backup only, recovery is always done
    with SeeThru off). The track 0 functions are started by the ^Z keys
    combination, followed by ^B for backup to file or ^R for restore from
    file.

    New "copy and paste" functions in ResQdisk: It is an advantage to have
    editing capability of the master and boot sectors of the hard disk.
    ResQdisk can now copy the content of a displayed sector to the clipboard,
    by the ^E ^R sequence, then paste it elsewhere by pressing ^E ^W. The
    copy and paste functions are useful to recover from mbr and boot sector
    viruses, that relocate the original sector elsewhere, usually on track 0.
    The copying and pasting of the original sector can be done under the
    visual control of ResQdisk. The new functions can be used to store copies
    of the critical sectors (mbr and boot sectors) in the unused section of
    track 0, usually from sector 2 to the last sector on the track. Avoid
    using sector 3 (used by Monkey), 7 (Stoned, Michelangelo), 8 (used by
    Disk Manager - not a virus), 17 (B1-NYB), 13 (NewBug) and the last sector
    (Quox and a few others).

    Either the Ctrl (^) or the Alt key can now be used for the editing
    and the "track 0" functions. For on-line help press Alt+H while running
    the ResQdisk program.
