A rescue disc can be a life saver for a SysAdmin. Packed with various diagnostic and repair tools they can do things like fix a Master Boot Record (MBR), recover a password, detect and clean a rootkitor simply allow you to salvage data by transferring it from a damaged drive to another location. Here are the best all-in-one Bootable CD/USBs that admins can use to troubleshoot and repair a Linux or Windows system – all handy additions to your toolkit.
1. Hiren Boot CD
The tagline for Hiren Boot CD reads “a first aid kit for your computer” – and that it is! Hiren Boot CD is one of the more popular Rescue CDs out there and contains a wealth of tools including defrag tools, driver tools, backup tools, antivirus and anti-malware tools, rootkit detection tools, secure data wiping tools, and partitioning tools, among others.
Hiren Boot CD is available to download as an ISO for easy installation to a USB or burning to a CD.
The boot menu allows you to boot into the MiniXP environment, the Linux-based rescue environment, run a series of tools or boot directly from a specified partition.
The MiniXP environment, as shown in the image below, is much like a Windows XP desktop. Everything pretty much happens from the HBCD Launcher (a standalone application with a drop down menu containing shortcuts to the packaged applications).
2. FalconFour’s Ultimate Boot CD
FalconFour’s Ultimate Boot CD is based upon the Hiren Boot CD with a customized boot menu and a whole bunch of updated tools thrown in. F4’s UBCD contains tools that provide system information, tools that recover/repair broken partitions, tools that recover data, as well as file utilities, password recovery tools, network tools, malware removal tools and much more.
F4’s UBCD is available for download as an ISO file so you can burn it to a CD or use it to create a bootable USB drive.
Similar to Hiren Boot CD, when you boot F4’s UBCD you are presented with a menu giving you the option to boot into a Linux environment, the MiniXP environment or run a series of standalone tools. As you scroll through the menu, a description of each item is given at the bottom of the screen.
Similar to that of Hiren Boot CD, the MiniXP environment is much like a Windows XP desktop environment, only it’s really lightweight and is pre-packed with a host of diagnostic and repair tools.
Once the desktop has loaded up, choose from one of the available application shortcuts, launch the HBCD Menu or go to the Start menu to get going.
3. SystemRescueCD
SystemRescueCD is a Linux-based package for troubleshooting Linux and Windows systems. The disc contains antivirus, malware removal, and rootkit removal tools as well as tools to help manage or repair partitions, recover your data, back up your data or clone your drives. SystemRescueCD supports ext2/ext3/ext4, reiserfs, btrfs, xfs, jfs, vfat, and ntfs file systems, as well as network file systems like samba and nfs. It also comes with network troubleshooting, file editing and bootloader restoration tools.
SystemRescueCD is available for download as an ISO file so you can burn it to a CD or use it to create a bootable USB drive.
When you boot the SystemRescueCD, the pre-boot menu gives you a multitude of options, allowing you to boot directly into the graphical environment or the command line.
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.
4. Ultimate Boot CD
Ultimate Boot CD is designed to help you troubleshoot Windows and Linux systems using a series of diagnostic and repair tools. It contains anything from data recovery and drive cloning tools to BIOS management, memory and CPU testing tools.
UBCD is downloadable in ISO format for easy installation to a USB or burning to a CD.
Note: UBCD4Win (http://www.ubcd4win.org/) is UBCD’s brother built specifically for Windows systems.
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.
5. Trinity Rescue Kit
The Trinity Rescue Kit is a Linux-based Rescue CD aimed specifically at recovery and repair of Windows or Linux machines. 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.
The Trinity Rescue Kit is downloadable in ISO format for easy installation to a USB or burning to a CD.
The boot menu gives you the option to start TRK is different modes (useful if you’re having trouble loading in default mode).
Once you get to the Trinity Rescue Kit ‘easy menu’, simply navigate through the list to choose which tool to execute. You can also switch to the command line if you want more flexibility and feel comfortable with Linux-based commands.
You may also wish to consider…
Boot-Repair-Disk
Boot-Repair-Disk is a Rescue CD primarily designed for repairing Linux distributions but can also be used to fix some Windows systems. It automatically launches the Boot-Repair application (a one-click repair system) which is used to repair access to operating systems; providing GRUB reinstallation, MBR restoration, file system repair and UEFI, SecureBoot, RAID, LVM, and Wubi support.
Windows System Repair Disc
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.
- PuppyLinux (http://puppylinux.org/main/Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm)
- Ubuntu LiveCD (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD)
- Knoppix (http://knoppix.net/)
- ALT Linux Rescue (http://en.altlinux.org/Rescue)
- Frenzy LiveCD (http://frenzy.org.ua/eng/)
Finally, you could also try a Rescue Disc from a popular antivirus vendor, such as:
- Kaspersky Rescue Disk (http://support.kaspersky.co.uk/4162)
- AVG Rescue CD (http://www.avg.com/gb-en/avg-rescue-cd)
- F-Secure Rescue CD (http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/labs_global/removal-tools/-/carousel/view/142)
- Avira AntiVir Rescue System (http://www.avira.com/en/download/product/avira-antivir-rescue-system)
- Comodo Rescue Disk (https://www.comodo.com/business-security/network-protection/rescue-disk.php)
Although primarily targeted to help with systems that are infected with malware, they are worth adding to your arsenal.
Create your own!
If you want more flexibility, why not create or customize your own bootable rescue disc?
You have a couple of options here:
1) Create your own bootable Live USB
Using applications such as YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) or UNetBootin, you can create a multi-boot USB drive containing several operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more.
In addition to YUMI and UNetBootin, you may also wish to consider SARDU (http://www.sarducd.it/) and Rufus (https://rufus.akeo.ie/) as recommended by some of our readers.
2) Modify a Linux distribution
If you are using a Linux-based Rescue CD / Live CD, you can use an application like Live-Magic (for Debian-based Linux distributions) or Remastersys to create a bootable ISO of an already installed Linux OS. 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. Check out http://www.linux-live.org/ for more information.

Be prepared
There is a Greek proverb we can loosely translate as: 'The children of the wise cook before they are hungry.'
In this case, it means we should create a System Repair Disc before we have any problem with Windows.
If we already have an issue with the OS, and we can't boot to Windows, we won't be able to create the System Repair Disc at our time of need, unless we have a second PC.
How to create a System Repair Disc on Windows 7
The fastest way to create a System Repair Disc is to search for 'System Repair Disc' on the start menu and click on the icon.
After that, we just need to insert a blank CD or DVD in our DVD recorder, select the appropriate drive, and click on 'Create Disc.'
Keep in mind that a System Repair Disc created on 32bit (x86) Windows 7 will only work on 32bit Windows 7 installations. The same goes for 64-bit Windows.
![System System](/uploads/1/2/6/0/126016116/990836766.png)
On the other hand, we can use a Windows 7 System Repair Disc to repair a Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 installation, with the same distinction between 32bit and 64bit versions.
How to create a Create a System Repair USB on Windows 7
With fast Internet, streaming movies and torrents, and downloadable games through services such as Steam and GoG Galaxy, DVD drives are becoming increasingly irrelevant.
So, how can we create a System Repair Disc if our PC doesn't have a CD or DVD Drive? Microsoft doesn't give any other options. The solution is to create a System Repair Disc ISO, and then write it to a bootable USB.
To create the ISO, we will use TotalMounter. It is a Virtual Drive application, similar to Daemon Tools, Alcohol 52%, or WinMount.
What makes TotalMountair exceptional, is that it can create an entirely functional virtual CD/DVD-RW drive. We can select this drive from any disc burning application, and it can record the data straight to an ISO file.
Download and install TotalMounter
We can only download TotalMounter as a free trial, but it is enough to create a System Repair Disc ISO.
The installation won't attempt to install useless third-party programs or toolbars. It just needs to install a device driver for the virtual drive.
Create a System Repair Disc ISO
After the installation, we run TotalMounter and select Device -> Mount -> Virtual CD/DVD-RW.
On the 'Mount Device' window we click on 'Browse' and type the name of the ISO we want to create, in the example 'System Repair Disc.iso.' Just make sure you have selected 'All Files,' or else it will become 'System Repair Disc.iso.img.'
We can save the file wherever we want, in our Documents folder, on the Desktop, anywhere.
After that, we click on Finish.
Now, the Computer will show a new drive, with the first available drive letter.
This new DVD-RW drive will also show up in the 'System Repair Disc' creation utility.
We just need to click on Create disc. In a couple of seconds, we will have a System Repair Disc ISO.
Before closing TotalMounter, make sure you unmount the virtual drive.
After that, we can uninstall TotalMounter if we don't want it anymore.
Create a System Repair USB
Several apps can create a bootable USB from an ISO, such as Rufus, Unetbootin, etc.
Unfortunately, most of them won't work to create a System Repair USB. They will be able to create the USB, but when we try to run most of its tools, we will get weird error messages.
The solution to creating a proper System Repair USB is to download the trial version of PowerISO.
During the installation, we should remove all file associations - if we don't intend to keep PowerISO - and uncheck the 'Autostart on boot up' box.
After the installation, we right-click on the PowerISO icon, and select 'Run as administrator.'
We choose to 'Continue Unregistered.'
Then we go to Tools -> Create Bootable USB Drive.
At the Source Image File, we click the folder icon and select our System Repair Disc ISO...
...then we select the Destination USB Drive - any thumb drive 256MB or larger will do - click start and confirm that the procedure will rewrite any files already on the USB drive.
And that's it. We can now use the System Repair USB to boot and troubleshoot our operating system.
What tools does the Windows 7 System Repair Disc contain?
After we set up the BIOS/UEFI to boot from DVD or USB, we will get a prompt to press any key, such as when we first install Windows.
By pressing any key, the System Repair Disc will load, with a screen that reminds us of Windows Vista.
Once it loads, we select a keyboard input method.
In most cases, if the operating system isn't too damaged, the System Repair Disc will recognize it...
...and we will get five system recovery and diagnostic options, and several more options through the command prompt.
If this menu looks familiar, it is the same menu and the same tools we get when we select 'Repair your Computer' on the Windows installation DVD.
Windows 7 System Repair Tool
So, if we have already downloaded Windows 7 as an ISO and created a Windows installation DVD or USB, we don't need an extra System Repair Disc, we already have all of its tools.
Can we create a System Repair Disc on Windows 8.1?
Windows 8.1 might just seem like a free update to Windows 8, but it is a separate operating system. That is why the early versions of the Windows 8.1 ISOs wouldn't recognize the Windows 8 product keys during the installation.
One of the things that Microsoft removed during the transition from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 was the 'System Repair Disc' creation application.
Instead, on Windows 8.1 we will find a Recovery Drive option, which serves pretty much the same purpose using a USB or external hard drive.
How to create a Recovery Drive in Windows 8.1
The fastest way to create a recovery drive is to go to the Start Screen and search for 'create recovery drive.'
If Windows has a recovery partition - e.g. if we bought a laptop with pre-installed Windows - the Recovery drive creator will give us the option to copy it to the USB.
Without a recovery partition, we will need a USB thumb drive of at least 512MB. The process will delete any files on the USB.
With the drive connected, we select it, click Next...
...and start the procedure with 'Create.'
It should take less than a minute on a standard USB 2.0 thumb drive.
Can we create a System Repair Disc on Windows 10?
Like Windows 8.1, Windows 10 doesn't include a System Repair Disc Creator. We will also need to create a recovery drive.
How to create a recovery drive in Windows 10
Windows 7 System Repair Usb Iso Download Software
The fastest way to create a recovery drive is to search for 'create recovery drive' from the Start menu.
If we leave the 'Back up system files to the recovery drive' option checked, we will need an 8GB USB thumb drive. Without this option, a 512MB drive will be enough.
The recovery drive creator will have us wait for a couple of minutes.
The app will show both any external disks, but will also show secondary internal drives, such as the D: (Data) in the example.
The system will warn us that any files on the selected drive will be deleted. So, make sure you have selected the proper drive and that it doesn't contain any valuable data.
If we chose the 'Back up system files' option and use a slow USB 2.0 drive, the process will take a while.
