Darik Boot and Nuke description
Dariks Boot and Nuke ( Dariks Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot floppy that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN can automatically and completely delete the contents of any HDD that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate tool for bulk or emergency data destruction.

DBAN is a means of ensuring due diligence in computer recycling, a way of preventing identity theft if you want to sell a computer, and a good way to totally clean a Microsoft Windows installation of viruses and spyware. DBAN prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis.

Usage:
Double-click the exe program to install DBAN to a floppy disk or USB flash device.

You must use an account with full hardware access to create the DBAN boot media. This means that you must be a member of the administrators group or have similar privileges on your Microsoft Windows computer. Virus scanners and domain policies can prevent you from creating the DBAN boot media.

The USB booting capabilities of many computers are incomplete or broken. Most computers capable of booting from a USB device require that it report a removable media type, and that it be unpartitioned and smaller than two gigabytes (so that the BIOS can boot it like a floppy disk).

If the drive letter of your USB device does not appear in WinImage drive list, then it is an unsupported media type. In particular, most USB+IDE bridge implementations are unrecognized, which means that a 2.5 inch hard disk in an external USB enclosure is incompatible.

Dariks Boot and Nuke is short DBAN is a self-contained boot floppy that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers.

Boot ChoOSer description
Boot ChoOSer is a simple tool that will help you manage Windows NTs multiple boot manager from inside Windows Boot ChoOSer is a simple tool that will help you manage Windows NTs multiple boot manager from inside Windows. Youll find it useful if you have multiple versions of Windows installed on your computer, and frequently boot back and forth between them.

Without Boot ChoOSer, switching between operating systems requires being present -- and paying attention -- as your computer reboots, so that you can select the correct OS from NTs boot menu. Set the delay too low, and you might miss it; set it higher, and your computer takes longer to boot. And if youre using an operating system that was not the default at boot time, a computer restart will boot back into the default operating system, which can wreak havoc with installation programs and Windows NTs crash-recovery features.

Without Boot ChoOSer, switching between multiple installations of Windows 9x is not even possible without manual editing of configuration files before you reboot.

With Boot ChoOSer, one click does the work, and your computer will restart into the chosen OS without any further input required. The new OS will remain the default until you again change OSs with Boot ChoOSer (of course, you can still select a different OS at boot time).

Here are some key features of "Boot ChoOSer":

· Sets reboot timer to 5 seconds to speed unattended reboots
· Can change default OS (for next boot) without rebooting
· Boldfaces current default operating system (so youll know which one starts after an unattended reboot)
· Fits on taskbar (to conserve screen space) if available; still works if not
· Manages multiple OSs listed in BOOT.INI (for the Windows 2000/NT boot manager) and MSDOS.SYS (for the Windows 9x boot manager)
· Hotkey for quick access

JustBoot Boot Corrector description
Boot Corrector is a system utility designed to resolve various problems which users may encounter during the system boot process Boot Corrector is a system tool that was designed to resolve various problems which users may encounter during the system boot process. These problems may be caused by program errors or user mistakes, or become the results of boot virus activity.

Purchasing Boot Corrector online, you can download an ISO-image of the bootable disc. For your convenience, we ve built it as a self-burning image. It is just an EXE-file which contains a packed ISO-image and an embedded CD/DVD recording program. When you run this EXE-file, the embedded recording program unpacks the ISO-image and starts to burn it to any writable CD/DVD.

When the process is over keep this CD/DVD until something unpleasant has happened to your system and it can not boot any more. Then you will boot from the CD that you have made in advance and correct boot problems.

Boot Corrector allows you to cure the majority of boot problems for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003. The key advantage of Boot Corrector is that it can correct the Windows System Registry without Windows loaded. It also helps with other operating systems when common boot problems take place, for example, when a boot virus has corrupted the MBR.

You can face serious boot problems after you have done some system works. If you have copied, moved or converted system partitions using various disk utilities, you are likely to immediately experience boot problems. Due to their user-friendly interface, modern disk utilities can cause the feeling that you can manipulate system partitions as easy as you can copy, move and edit text files. Actually, it is not true. Do not start to change configuration of your system disks until Boot Corrector is somewhere close to you.
