getting carpets up

We have just bought some carpet and waiting for it to be delivered. I have had a look at the stuff we are replacing. The one in the bathroom is hessian backed on underlay so that is not too bad, so is the hall. But the bedroom is rubber backed with by the looks no underlay or paper down.
Now I have helped get a carpet up like this before and it is a total nightmare!! :mad: the rubber backing just sticks to the floor boards and will not come off except with tons of WD40 and lots of scraping. Anyone got on tips on how to get this stuff off a bit better?? I dont want to spend 2 days on my knees scraping sticky stuff off the floor.
Thanks for any info

We didn't have anything stuck??? Thats strange.You may walk and you may run
You leave your footprints all around the sun
And every time the storm and the soul wars come
You just keep on walking0
