Keep This Bootable CD Handy For Troubleshooting Posted: 17 Feb 2014 12:34 AM PST When you're regarded as the resident PC troubleshooter for friends, family and colleagues, it's important to have a good selection of tools to hand for when you need to sort out someone's computer and retain your reputation. And assuming that the PC is sufficiently OK to be bootable and to have internet access, this is generally pretty easy. Just download what you need. Or, if things are looking bad, you can at least copy any important files off the computer via the network. But what if the Windows installation is so corrupted that the machine won't even boot? You can reinstall Windows, of course, but by the time you've also reinstalled all the applications too, it's a task that will take a long time.

Booting from the rescue disk gives you a usable, albeit minimal, operating system from which you can check out the problem.
