What's you Favorite Live Boot CD?

[donetao]

Hi My favorite is the W7 system repair CD. There are ton's of them. What's your favorite and how do you use it?? I use this to get to the W7 rescue features. I can't get to them on my model through safe mode, so i have to have this CD. Also good to have if your system won't boot.

Hiren's Boot CD, my favorite.
But all other fix tools in my bootable USB can be found linked in my signature

Hi @BoraMurdar Thanks for your reply! Hiren's Boot CD is a excellent live CD. I have one, but I have never used it.

Well, data recovery tools and Macrium Reflect PE Edition, in it. Mostly
Also, some of boot fixing tools. It's really great.

Hi I didn't realize Macrium Reflect PE was in Hiren's. What edition do you have??

Off line password changer is handy, and Mini XP is as well.. There are so many good tools in Hiren's, it is almost impossible to pick a favorite on it.

I think that would be my favorite as well, even though I have yet to use Hiren's.

Latest one, v15.2 I think is the latest one.

Thanks! @BoraMurdar Just a little off topic. There are live CD's to test your RAM,HD and live CD's to remove malware if your PC is so badly infected that it won't boot. Many of these are in Hiren's and ultimate Boot CD. If you can't boot with a live CD, you're probably in deep dudu
Why would you want to start replacing hardware to trouble shoot when you have all these great
software free programs to trouble shoot your PC??

Because sometimes it can be simple. Like say your computer will not boot up, you open the case, find you have two sticks of ram, pull one, it still will not boot, replace that one pull the other, now the system boots, it was a bad ram stick..

Hi @illumination Great tip.I have actually done that. The stick was not bad and I guess just reseating it fixed the problem.
I do like my Memtest86+ live CD however,even though W7 has that feature in the system repair CD
Good tip! Thanks!

Hi! @Moose My favorite would still be the system repair CD. I'm not a W8.1 user, but if I were, I would use this!!
