Recover your PC when disaster strikes

September 17, 2009 in Software | Permalink

Most computer users have to deal with some sort of issue every so often and although many of these problems are fairly minor, now and again something more serious may arise. At its most serious, a virus could potentially prevent your machine from booting correctly, if at all, which can not only prevent you from identifying the problem but it can also make it extremely difficult to rectify it. Without taking drastic steps, how do you go about recovering your machine and all of the files and folders in such circumstances?

System Rescue CD 1.3 is a collection of utilities on a bootable CD designed to repair Windows when disaster strikes. It's basically a Linux system on a bootable CD so it doesn't require Windows to start and is still able to read files from the Windows hard disk. It will also access the Internet in an attempt to find answers to any problems your machine is experiencing.
