The best Linux system repair disk graduates to 1.0 (Linux-Watch)
Linux-Watch takes a look
at the recent release of SystemRescueCd v1.0. "For those of you who
haven't had the pleasure of using SystemRescueCd, the Linux kernel
2.6.24.2-based distribution can be booted from either a CD-ROM or a USB
stick. Once it's running, and I've yet to meet a busted PC that still had a
working CPU and memory it couldn't run on, you have your choice of the
lightweight WindowsMaker GUI or a shell command-line interface."

The best Linux system repair disk graduates to 1.0 (Linux-Watch) Posted Mar 6, 2008 9:04 UTC (Thu) by Cato (subscriber, #7643) [Link] This is an outstanding rescue CD - it includes many useful recovery tools, can read/write NTFS by default using NTFS-3G, is quick to burn and boot, and has the very useful GNU ddrescue (gddrescue on Debian/Ubuntu) which efficiently seeks around bad sectors in a disk to help you recover the maximum possible data even if there were no backups. You can also change Windows passwords from Linux, and as with other Linux distros you can if necessary use the Windows System Restore points (periodic backup copies of the registry) to recover a non-booting system.
