I think that you should give NETSCN74 a try: it will scan all files
(recursing into subdirectories) without checking on boot/partition
compatibility. I don't know whether your DataPac won't be (easily)
infected by current bootsector or partition table viruses though...
(maybe not, if it is really non-standard?).
