Rescue CD Toolbox

On the CD

Article from ADMIN 01/2010

The CD included with this issue lets you boot to four special-purpose Live Linux systems:

  • SystemRescueCd – This versatile rescue distro includes a copious collection of networking and troubleshooting tools, including utilities for accessing and repairing Windows systems.
  • Parted Magic – A little Linux that specializes in formatting, resizing, and recovering partitions.
  • Clonezilla Live – Clone systems for fast and easy backup and restore. The bare-metal backup and recovery approach will bring back your system in a fraction of the time.
  • Redo Backup – Another bare-metal backup tool with an emphasis on simplicity.

Place the CD in the drive and reboot your system. (Make sure your computer is configured to boot to the CD drive.) Choose a distro in the handy boot menu. See the box titled "Resources" for links to more information on the tools in our Rescue CD Toolbox.
