In the image below, I have booted into the graphical environment and started the chkrootkit application from the Terminal window which searches for rootkits installed on the system. Other applications can be run directly from the terminal in a similar fashion, using arguments and parameters as necessary. Ultimate Boot CD is designed to help you troubleshoot Windows and Linux systems using a series of diagnostic and repair tools. When you boot with UBCD you are presented with a DOS-based interface that you navigate depending on which system component you wish to troubleshoot.
It contains a range of tools allowing you to run AV scans, reset lost Windows passwords, backup data, recover data, clone drives, modify partitions and run rootkit detection tools. You can also switch to the command line if you want more flexibility and feel comfortable with Linux-based commands. The Windows System Repair Disc lets you boot into the Windows Recovery Environment, giving you the option to detect and fix startup and booting issues, restore to a workable restore point if you had System Restore enabled , restore the entire machine from a backup image, conduct a memory diagnostics test and use the command line to run utilities like chkdsk.
Additionally, Linux distributions such the ones found below are lightweight bootable versions of Linux that contain a host of handy tools to fix common problems, recover data, transfer data, scan for viruses, manage partitions, etc. Although primarily targeted to help with systems that are infected with malware, they are worth adding to your arsenal. The idea would be to install a clean build of Linux, add or remove applications and make any customizations as necessary and then run the above mentioned applications to capture the build into an ISO.
Alternatively, instead of using an application, you can use a series of shell scripts to do the same thing. Get immediate results. Take the necessary steps to fix all issues. He has contributed to several blogs and worked on various technical writing projects for multiple organizations, as well as being invited to be a regular guest lecturer and speaker at a top UK university. SARDU is another excellent tool and allows you to customize the disc you create with the tools you use most.

Looks good! Don M might be able to chip in with his own experience too. Matt Falcon October 23, at pm. Still maintaining it on-and-off, got a job fixing computers hell yeah, long as it barely manages to pay the bills… , keeping an ear out for bigger things yet to happen. Hope everyone enjoys the disc — and if any problems come up like the v4. Only Mini7 is in pre-beta work now on my development version a.

Though Ubuntu, Linux Mint, et al. When choosing the best of the many live media Linux distros out there, I looked for distributions that are actively being developed, that serve a specific and useful purpose, and should be useful to a fairly wide audience.
To that end, I picked from end user distros as well as utility distributions that are used for specific tasks. But I tried to avoid discs that are just interesting to a very, very small audience. For example, dyne:bolic looks really interesting for folks who want to do multimedia production. But how many folks want to do serious multimedia production off a live CD? Knoppix is optimized for speed and uses some default Debian apps. The Knoppix site is just a wee tiny bit cluttered.
One might get the impression that the Knoppix folks really, really want you to buy a CD or DVD rather than downloading. Note that when you download Knoppix, the list of files can be somewhat confusing.
Look for the latest version of Knoppix, and pay careful attention to the file names. The current release is 6. If you want the DVDs, look under the knoppix-dvd directory on the mirror. This is primarily for users who are blind or have limited vision. Most systems should be able to easily handle Puppy. And you can get those other apps. Puppy makes it easy to install packages of the popular pupular? Ready to embrace the Pup? Head over and grab the latest release. Want it on your hard drive?
Read the how not to install Puppy Linux docs. Linux runs great on older and refurbished hardware, and in my experience is consistently stable and reliable.
For work documents I use Dropbox to keep my writing and notes backed up. But for the bulk of my data, I use Clonezilla to create a clone of my hard drive every few weeks so if my hard drive dies I can plop in a new drive and restore from backup. Have some Windows systems or an Intel-based Mac that you want to clone?
