Knoppix and Ubuntu Linux Live CDs – these Linux live CDs are a must if the PC is so bad that you can’t even boot into Windows to safeguard any data. Ultimate Boot CD for Windows – this is one of the most important tools in my pc repair kit – it works like a Windows Live CD and allows you to boot up a machine into a seperate instance of Windows in order to repair/rescue a machine where Windows fails to load properly or is unusable due to malware. Ultimate Boot CD – another boot cd, not quite as comprehensive as Hiren’s boot cd but still comes in handy every now and then. Hiren’s Boot CD – this is the Swiss army knife of Boot CDs – it includes virus scanners, many disk tools, anti spyware, file managers literally everything you could possibly need.
Microsoft Windows XP SP1, SP2 and SP3 – I am surprised at the number of people who do not have these already installed. Microsoft Windows XP CD – required for refreshing Windows files for repair or worst case scenario a full rebuild. The issues have involved cleaning spyware/viruses, fixing network issues, setting up email, rescuing personal data etc.
Over the years I have built up a wide range of tools that I use when fixing the computers. Being the computer guy among family and friends I often get asked to fix their PCs.
