I have not tried this yet but as far as a Linux rescue type live disk its looks promising
and is active so that is important.
Windows PE disks I Have one but never found one for Linux that Impressed me and was of any use.
Seems at this point has most needed apps for rescue.

Thought it might be of use to some.

    Axios the mileage (at least in windows daze) I got out of tools like a Hiren's disk was amazing. you always needed a toolbag of tricks to revive the often-dying win, because win.

    I could never get crap like refind to work either. or any kernel/efi boot cleaners. And especially a linux tool that could fix a dead boot.

    In fact there is not a linux tool I've ever had my back and fixed any injured boot: all roads always lead to a painful chroot.

    that said the fault is all mine because I don't keep an arsenal like that any more for linux. Maybe I need to make a tool-bag CD for linux. god knows I'd need it enough🙂. thanks for this, I downloaded it.

    edit: this is nice

    Axios That is a nice little tool box, and it all looks like it will fit on a CD. All of the Win10/11 boot discs needed a DVD which sometimes didn't like running on a different disc drive to the one they were burnt on.
    There are some programs that I have never needed to learn about (thankfully) but plenty that I use already so it is a useful addition to my collection of repair discs. Thank you for the heads-up.

      BuzzPCSOS The trouble with a lot of them especially windows they always had a bunch of crap
      I think nobody would use.
      Made my own back in the day a win7pe was a ton of work but finally was happy with it.
      I dont feel like making a current one...lol
      Oh well.

        Axios My favourite boot cd was FALCONFOUR’S ULTIMATE BOOT CD/USB 4.61.
        Very dated now but it still has it's uses, just need to remember that some of the tools are way behind current tech and often duplicate features that are automatic in more modern operating systems. 😄
        Edit. Usually I only get to see a faulty Windows PC when the hard drive is failing and the registry has cross-links all over the place. Not worth messing with file ownership, just need to back up the documents, throw the hard drive away and start again. TinyXP was very good at ignoring most of the protection that Microsoft built in to later OS's for our own good 😉

          BuzzPCSOS HaHa I got FALCONFOUR’S ULTIMATE in my repair bag like you havent used
          it in awhile. Was a decent one in the day I just do stuff for myself and family so I keep a soft bag of
          stuff I need.
          I havent counted at least 8 Cd's and usb's along those lines never can have to many.

            Axios never can have to many.

            But then again nothing worse than being responsible for the survival of someone else's documents with a bit of software that you are not familiar with.
            I often end up using just one or two tried and tested programs on each boot disc I have.
            Better the devil you know. Lol.
