Scanning from the command line of BitDefender Rescue CD

To scan an entire hard drive from command line you will have to open first a terminal as root by right clicking on the desktop and selecting the option Terminal (as root):

 

Contextual Menu

 

In the terminal window type in the following command and press Enter:

bdscan /media/hda1

In this example [hda1] represents the Linux partition name for the hard-drive.

When working with BitDefender Rescue CD, you will deal with Linux-type partition names. So, [hda1] will probably correspond to the (C:) Windows-type partition, [sda1] to the memory stick.

If you wish to scan the entire hard drive and also save the scan report, you will have to use the following scan command:

bdscan -log=/media/hda1/report.txt /media/hda1

In this case, the scan report named report.txt will be saved in the location /media/hda1 (Windows C:\ drive).
