Boot disk that supports NTFS, Chinese long filenames, and USB hard drives? - China DOS Union Forum

My PC uses NTFS partitions. It got hit by a virus and is completely dead, and the antivirus software can't repair it, so I can only use a DOS boot disk. I want to COPY all the useful files to a USB hard drive. Right now I have the DUSE driver for the USB hard drive, but NTFS4DOS doesn't support Chinese filenames, they all show up as garbled symbols. I also tried using Norton Ghost to make a hard disk image to the USB hard drive, but when using DUSE and Ghost at the same time there isn't enough memory again, and my machine has 256MB RAM.

Do any of you have a workable method? A ready-made boot disk would be best. Anyway, most of the people who ask us for help are in this kind of situation.

Even DOSLFN supports Chinese long filenames (including Chinese long filenames on USB hard drives)! I really don't know how the company behind NTFSDOS developed it; it actually doesn't even have the capability to support Chinese long filenames.
