While on the subject of rescue disks, You might want to try "Ultimate Boot CD for windows" (you will have to Google it, since I'm a new user and don't have enough points to post URLs).
The "Ultimate Boot CD for windows" is based on Bart's PE and creates a bootable Windows Live disk with lots of tools (you can pick and choose) to fix a variety of problems, from Virus/Spyware to filesystem issues and file recovery.
Fair warning: be careful of what you do with it. It has so many tools and some of them may damage your OS if you don't know what you are doing.
Also, I think it needs WinXP SP2 disk or newer of Windows 2003 in order to create the disk. I don't think it can use Vista or Win7 to do so.
You can also try with Bart's PE but it only offers McAfee antivirus and I'm not sure how often it's updated (PE, not McAfee).
I know it's an old thread but I hope this info helps someone. It's saved my bacon plenty of times.
