Have a spare USB stick laying around? (Minimum 1 gig stick)

This is a great Windows utility compilations that I put together for my repair business. It was designed for the ultimate "on the go" computer technician with all the apps you'll ever need to fix virtually any PC problem.

It includes a USB key imaging program that makes the setup a literal no brainer.

Multiple portable Windows apps and multiple bootable options.

The following is from the included "read me"

Included in the bootable image are the following:

• Ultimate Boot CD for Windows "UBCD4WIN"

* This is our primary "LiveCD" windows environment for troubleshooting and fixing issues both software and hardware related windows problems.
* A fully functional windows explorer environment with integrated network and file sharing capability.
* Various Anti-virus and Anti-malware programs. (Malwarebytes, Super Antispyware)
* Registry tools and Hard-Disk Controller fixes. (FIX_hdc, Registry Restore Wizard)
* Driver Backup and Local Windows password resets. (Double Driver, NTPWEdit)

(Note: The Ultimate Boot CD does occasionally gives a BSOD when booting a Desktop computer. Laptops seem to rarely have any problems with it, if you experience a BSOD with this option then you should use the "Mini XP" boot option instead)

• Mini XP From Hiren's Boot Disk v 10.0

* A second and less bulky "LiveCD" windows environment that may have better over-all hardware compability.
* A fully functional windows explorer environment with integrated network and file sharing capability.
* Tons of additional programs and tools
* Full Plug and Play support.

(Note: File dragging doesn't work by default, but copying and pasting files does)

• Hiren's DOS Boot CD v10.0

* A marvelous collection of some of the best utilities currently available for computer repair and maintenance. There are simply too many fantastic apps to list them all here.
* Special attention should be paid to the "HDD Regenerator" under the "Hard Disk tools" for it's ability to literally bring dying disks back to life.

• Kon-Boot

* A password bypass for any local user accounts on Windows and Linux systems

• Hiren's Windows Memory Test

* A great tool for accessing and quickly checking for routine RAM problems

• Windows Recovery Console

A useful DOS based method of accessing and repairing files.

• GOBACK Removal Tool

* A tool used for troubleshooting and removing Norton's GOBACK from the master boot record.
* Additional MBR, IDE, and SCSI fixes

* A classic reliable memory test for further verification of memory problems.

• NTFS4DOS
