Ultimate Boot CD


A well deserved first in our new ‘Technicians toolkit’ category is called the ‘Ultimate Boot CD’. A freely available image you can put on an empty CD or any available USB-stick (256Mb+), giving you a bootable solution to diagnose, test and fix any processor, motherboard, memory, hard-disk and so on.

Simply put, the authors took hundreds of freely available solutions and put them together with a simple bootable menu. Download the ISO, burn it onto a CD/R and take it with you wherever you go.ubcd411_label08_yellow
To quote from their website, you need the Ultimate Boot CD if you want to:

  • Run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives. More and more PCs are shipped without floppy drives these days, and it is such a royal pain when you need to run diagnostic tools on them.
  • Free yourself from the slow loading speed of the floppy drive. Even if you do have a floppy drive, it is still much much faster to run your diagnostic tools from the CDROM drive, rather than wait for the tool to load from the floppy drive.
  • Consolidate as many diagnostic tools as possible into one bootable CD. Wouldn’t you like to avoid digging into the dusty box to look for the right floppy disk, but simply run them all from a single CD? Then the Ultimate Boot CD is for you!
  • New! Run Ultimate Boot CD from your USB memory stick. A script on the CD prepares your USB memory stick so that it can be used on newer machines that supports booting from USB devices. You can access the same tools as you would from the CD version.

When you boot up from the CD, a text-based menu will be displayed, and you will be able to select the tool you want to run. The selected tool actually boots off a virtual floppy disk created in memory.
