This is too cool: Ultimate Boot CD. It's a tech person's dream come true! It has hard drive diagnostic tools, installation tools, wiping tools, cloning tools, sector editors, partition managers, and file tools, plus other great stuff like CPU and memory test suites, network tools, free anti-virus tools and much more.
Why haven't I discovered this before now? This will make so many things easier!
That is pretty cool. I can't actually remember the last time I required a bood disk. I've kept out of the "fix peoples computers" game for a long time I don't miss it much, it's more that I am worried about falling behind in my knowledge so when the time comes where I NEED to fix a computer, I won't know how. I've been running my windowsXP system since april 2003, I don't think I've even defragged; it's amazingly stable. I usually go over a month before I restart the machine; and mostly it has been due to power outages.
I'm definetly bookmarking this site, I know my computer can't behave this well forever. I will be ready.
Very nice. i highly recomend this as a cheap way to get your computer back up and running
