Thanks for the links

It's either because I'm lazy or I can't find my Vista disk
Then you need to run DrWeb or other antiviruses on a separate system, not the infected system. You shouldn't be using your drive in your infected system anyway. You should be using it on another computer both for dealing with infections and for recovering your data.

Just plug the harddrive into another computer or laptop, it's very easy. You could even put the harddrive into a drive enclosure and connect it via USB.

I would still make a raw image of the whole drive first in case you mess up and really blank the drive. Your data is still on there, unless it has been overwritten.
