Top 6 Rescue Discs for Your System Admin Toolkit

A Rescue Disc can be a life saver for a System Admin. 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 rootkit or 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/USB’s 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, anti-virus and anti-malware tools, rootkit detection tools, secure data wiping tools, and partitioning tools, amongst others. The boot menu allows you to boot into the Mini XP environment, the Linux-based rescue environment, run a series of tools or boot directly from a specified partition.


Hiren's BootCD is pretty legendary, and anyone who's ever worked in support or systems administration has probably used it at least once (or has several version of it lying around still.) The rescue disc is aimed squarely at repairing Windows systems, and includes a wealth of tools to that effect, including antivirus tools to scan your hard drive, anti-malware utilities to clean out spyware and adware, even rootkit detection tools. Hiren's BootCD can also help you repair, adjust, or re-flash your system's BIOS or wipe your CMOS, clean out temporary files and folders, securely erase files, back up your data to another hard drive or to the network, update and back up hardware drivers, scan your system for hardware failures, repair lost or damaged partitions, and much much more. We're only scratching the surface here. Even if there are other tools in your toolkit, Hiren's BootCD should be among them

The Mini XP 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. 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. 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. The aptly named System Rescue CD is a linux-based rescue disk designed to troubleshoot Linux and Windows systems and servers. The disk is packed with tools to help you manage or repair partitions, back up your data or clone your drives in case of a failure, and supports a wealth of file systems even network file systems like NFS so you can work with just about any file on any drive anywhere. The disc also comes with replacement bootloaders, system file editors, network troubleshooting and diagnostic tools, and disc burning tools so you can burn while you use the disc. There are also antivirus, anti-malware, and rootkit detection and removal tools.

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. 

3. 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 boot menu gives you the option to start TRK is different modes useful if you’re having trouble loading in default mode. The Trinity Rescue Kit is a customized Linux distribution that's designed specifically for troubleshooting and reviving ailing systems, whether you're running Windows or Linux. It fits nicely on a CD or a USB stick if you prefer and once booted gives you tools to reset lost Windows passwords, scan hard drives for viruses and malware, clone drives, recover lost partitions, even open up the drives as network shares so you can get files off of them and to other computers on your network. 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.

7. Ultimate Boot CD

Let's face it: PC repair can be hell. Crappy tools, lack of documentation, lack of vendor support for repair, and perhaps worst of all, nobody ever seems to have enough money to pay for PC repair guys to clean up after their happy-ad-clicking. What a mess.

Boot CDs are at the heart of many repair jobs. You can't fix a PC that's not booting, without an OS of some kind. And that OS might as well be designed to put the tools you need right in front of you instead of making you search for them. That's what I did with F4UBCD: I put everything I need to fix a PC right in front of me, within one or two keystrokes for most things. No long, convoluted lists of duplicate and obscure tools, no need to sift through a build script to create a slowly-loading fake Windows install. It's all right there, all ready to go.

In this boot CD are the most popular and useful tools anyone would ever need. 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.

This disc, an even more minor single-point revision, is actually a huge MiniXP update. Other tools have been updated, like Memtest86+, which has been replaced with the more frequently updated Memtest86, with a smarter loading mechanism. Tons of updates in MiniXP. AHCI support, for one thing. Better driver support for network and wireless drivers, faster (and more reliable) startup, better error reporting/catching, better graphics, better compatibility with more tools and software, and… Flash support in the latest Portable Firefox! Yes, you can watch YouTube from MiniXP now. And access TeamViewer/LogMeIn which uses Flash. LOTS of work has been put into polishing the startup routine and compatibility.

Plenty of features from v4.5: Virtual Floppy enables you to mount images from a USB stick to be used in a boot selection like MiniXP (for F6 SATA/RAID drivers) or FreeDOS (Dell option). 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
