In this boot CD are the most popular and useful tools anyone would ever need.
The best of the free software, the best of the commercial software, and it all
fits on one CD-R that's readable by any computer worth booting on. Not
everything can read a DVD, and USB booting is hit and miss at best.
It's been a long time. How have you been? Things have changed since we last
met... I got myself a corporate IT job, still doing computer repair on the
side. But being a side thing, kinda has its pros and cons. On one hand I don't
have constant first-hand experience using the disc anymore. On the other hand,
I can also take a step back and look at it from a designer's point of view...
how well does it work? What does it do good, what's bad, what could be done
better? How can I make this the [ULTIMATE BOOT CD] it claims to be?
This disc, a minor half-version revision, is the answer to those questions.
Scoured through every option, considered the usefulness of some tools, added
others, collaborated with users over Facebook, gutted some functions and built
others. A launcher here, a script there, and about 1,500 WIM captures. I
imagine I went through some 20 ISO re-burns, 150 virtual machine boots, 200 VHD
mount/unmounts... I can't even count how much time has been put into polishing
this thing. All for the love of making computer repair accessible to anyone
that wants it.
Of note... let's see here. Virtual Floppy enables you to mount images from your
USB stick to be used in a boot selection like MiniXP (for F6 SATA/RAID drivers)
or DR-DOS (BIOS flashing). VFD with file copy allows you to make a <1mb RAR file
accessible to DR-DOS or Hiren's DOS in a virtual floppy. Wireless drivers in
MiniXP along with improved Ethernet and storage support. Mini Linux provided by
RIP Linux. Bootable partition and imaging utilities provided by Acronis True
Image and EASEUS Partition Manager. Improved Memtest86+ with failsafe mode to
resolve startup hangs. Kon-Boot 1.1 is really v1.1 now, with support for 32-bit
and 64-bit Windows. Tons of new utilities in MiniXP with new launchers to
provide easier access. ERD 5.0 is integrated with MiniXP for offline system
restore and service/driver management, and Microsoft DaRT 6.5 (x86 and x64) are
added to support Windows Vista and 7. Antivirus scanning with real-time updates
is provided by DaRT 6.5's Standalone System Sweeper, and allows you to load
definitions to a USB stick for live updating.
This ain't yo mama's BartPE compilation.
Once you dive into this disc, you'll never need another boot CD.

FalconFour,
Thanks a lot for this
Thanks a lot for this
Couldn't find HDD Regenerator.
Was it removed?
If so then what do you use instead?

Thanks FalconFour, you have made my job so much simpler with your collection of tools. I have imaged your disc to a bootable USB hard drive and now all your tools are available extremely fast : )
Also added install discs for the different OEM versions of XP/Vista/7 for fast, easy and legal installations of Windows.
4.5 is the best release yet, keep up the great work, good sir.

I have no idea what to say, but thanks man. There aren't any amount of words that can really show gratitude for all the work you've done. You sir, are an I.T legend in my book! Thanks so much and all the best!
Awesome work, a life saver at my work :)

You all make me so warm and fuzzy feeling :D
HDD regenerator: never used it, I didn't remove it but it was probably pulled from Hiren's. There's no decent recovery software out there that I know of, and hard drives can only be re-surfaced (repaired) in one way: read ALL sectors (to find all the bad blocks and flag them in SMART), then run a proper FORMAT (with MHDD) or WRITE (with HD Tune) across the whole drive, which will "regenerate" and re-test any failing sectors. Recovery is only possible with what the drive gave you to begin with, using Active File Recovery. And a word of advice: DO NOT USE SPINRITE ANYMORE. Spinrite is obsolete. I've had it kill multiple hard drives by constantly slamming them with repeated read-requests of bad blocks, which trashes the heads (especially when the drive's failure-mode consists of slamming the head each time) and makes the REST of the drive unusable as well. Don't use Spinrite. ESPECIALLY do not use Spinrite to try to "repair" a damaged drive back to operation - if you don't need the data, READ AND WIPE IT. That's the only way to repair a modern "intelligent" drive (any drive in the last 10 years, including all SATA drives).

Thank you FalconFour. Wanted to say that first. But though SpinRite 6 has limitations of such as not working with large Hard Drive sizes; however your interpretation of it killing your hard drive are incorrect.
If a hard drive is suspected to be failing, some examples heads failing, bearings failing, or if you've been using a monitoring program and noticed a growing number of bad sectors you should NOT be using Spinrite. It isn't that SpinRite will be damaging your hard drive (that has already occurred) however what spinrite does is excessively exercise a drive, this is something a heathy drive has no difficulty with as it represents what a hard drive is made to do and that is simply read and write every sector as a 0 or 1. The program is VERY GOOD at what it does, but unfortunately people are using it incorrectly on problem A.K.A. bad or failing drives and then they draw the conclusion that SpinRite killed it. This is incorrect. It simply did what your computer or server would have done over the next minutes, hours, days or weeks depending on your use. "I've had it kill multiple hard drives by constantly slamming them with repeated read-requests of bad blocks, which trashes the heads" This is not a correct statement. If a sector is located that cannot clearly be read and write both a 0 and 1 and back again then it is a bad sector and is marked, taken out of service and the data that can be recovered is relocated to one of the drives spare sectors.

Long story short (tl;dr): if Spinrite isn't meant to be used to recover data from bad/dying drives, then please explain to me what in the hell it IS good for? It's sure not for testing drives - most if not all of its interface is geared towards "recovery options" and "recovery status", so please enlighten me what it's supposed to do if not attempt to work with dying/damaged drives?
You are amazing FalconFour! Thanks so much for this Bootable CD!!!! :)
how would one go about making a bootable usb drive out of this?
I found this Vs (4.5) while downloading Vs 1.5, is there any advantage to having both? (It's free, so WTH?) or should I just delete the 1.5 download?
Thanks in advance, I'll write a longer review once I try it out! :-) Hopefully it will help me revive the HDD on my Acer Aspire 1...

Excellent! Boots fast! A true PC toolbox on a CD.
My Acer HDD is toast, But at least I know for sure now...

Haha... just delete v1.5. It's only there for historical preservation. Each new version adds shiny new toys and works better than the last version, at least, that's how I designed it to be ;)
thank You, falconfour! i use Your hirens version since 2.0 and everytime with thankfulness and better results - in fact these tools are majority from my own utility collection and if i were computer programmer i would do the same as You and hiren. but please, falconfour, help me to tune or make Yourway so, that the embedded minixp may run on laptop with 128mb shared memory - older laptops are virtually impossible to enhance sometimes. and there are plenty of users on earth with old pcs wich want to use the most reliable bag of tools known today. as for today, i know only the digiwiz compilation from experience's ultradvd wich runs on my old toshiba 4060 with 128mb of ram. all other live windows-cds want exactly 128mb ram or more. thank You again, falconfour for the great working. wish that You release more often microversions. and yes, just like You i often look in the skys for saying hello to some human-maded falcon.
Awesome dude !! Thank you for this, I was building my own but now I dont have to. :)
I suck at GUI's anyways. As long as this torrent is still alive I will check back in and flip ya a few bux.
Mind you, you have the job I wanted to get back into :P But when all of bluddy Toronto has flagged you as an overqualified 'company' man ( just cuz I saved the last place I worked for 120,000 by accident, Bigbossman was hiding in the elevator while I was discussing writing a nice batch file for the login server to auto grab new virus sig's and fix all 4000 pc's in 30 mins ) - Sounds like a good thing, but when your whole department loses their OT because of it, well ya know. LOL
Now I drive Rig and do Home systems. lala Anyways again thanx a butload, had a massive outbreak of some serious joo joo malware around here, so this makes my side job alot easier.
I have one request, and if can fill it I will wire you 10k right off the hop.
Can you make a fix-it disk for my wife ????!!!
Cuz I have ran out of ideas. My only idea I have left for that problem is called my old 36oz cooper magnum baseball bat 'fix it disk' :)
Fine 20k, and I will pay for the marketting fees and TV advertisements, if it works. ( I mean your fix it disk not MY "fix it disk" :)
Cheers Duder

@Nightbreeder: Whoa.
Facebook. Hit up the f4ubcd page, look at "page owners" on the side, and send me a message. Because I have no idea how to take you up on that offer. LOL
Dude, if I even made more than $100 off this disc, I might be inclined to put more effort into a new version... donations are so slow, the last one was... *checks*... almost a month ago (1/24). Even if you aren't serious, lol... I'd still love to help for *something* more than table scraps, haha... I save the day every day at my stuffy corporate job, and I barely take home enough to pay rent and minimal bills (split with roommate).

Great winPE interface. Identifies my wireless hardware with ease. But my only request:
I would love to boot this from an USB and the accompanying usb boot software is not cutting it, for this novice.
But my final word is this is an awesome cd! Great work!

Ok this is awesome. The other day I made the cd and found full functionality on apps like winPE, wireless network, ghost 11.5 etc. Today I followed your instructions closely and now have great boot usb. GREAT WORK. This is a deep well of resources to play around with.
The ONE utility every boot CD should have is GNU DDRescue.
-- Find a few worthless things to dump, add a micro-linux boot option with DDRescue in it.

So first of all thank you for the tool, second I burnned the .ISO in a cd and tried to boot from my dvd drive after a couple reeding attempts my pc started normally, my question is ¿does this boot cd doesn't work with old computers? ¿should I reburn the .ISO? ¿any ideas?
Thank you, keep up the stunning work :)
