What can replace Hiren's BootCD?

Question

Windows

At the call of life, you often have to use a bunch of various LiveCDs to dance over dead bootloaders, create system images, restore files, and cure viruses and banners. Exit and not very enikeyschina, in general.
I deal with Windows systems more often, and as the most versatile tool, I used to use Hiren's BootCD . There are some problems, however: the last available assembly 15.2 is already more than four years old at lunch, the software set in it, respectively, too. Yes, and XP does not start on every machine without unnecessary kicks. Making your own set is a good option, but there are always many reasons why hands don't get around to it. Update yourself - too.
Therefore, I throw a cry to the Toaster community with a request to suggest relevant options for replacing the subject. The main thing is that it works in Live mode and has a similar set of software. Feedback from personal experience is welcome.

Answer 1

how the most versatile tool used to use Hiren's BootCD

Yes, I used it once. But for several years now (yes, the same 4 as you) I have been using the Multiboot assembly , which has the following features:
1. Not one, but as many as 4 different WinPEs - based on WinXP, Server 2008, Win7 and Win8.1. The choice is in the grub4dos start menu. If one does not start on a given hardware, we try the second one, some will start!
2. The 2k10 package of a couple of hundred utilities for all occasions is integrated into each WinPE.
3. There are also off-system utilities and tests with access directly from grub4dos.
4. And finally, there are pure Windows distributions on board - XP, 7, 8.1. "Seven" and "Eight" - in all options (selection at the start of the installation), you can always choose the "native" for this device, if the key is hardwired into the BIOS.
What more could a simple techie ask for?

Answer 2

Put the standard WinPE and the software you need on the USB flash drive,

Answer 3

A hundred thousand million hours ago, I needed assemblies. Now on the flash drive in the selection menu are service disks from soft-bodied and this is enough for the eyes.

Answer 4

it is better to describe the software by functionality than "had a similar set of software"
You can advise a certain image with 100500 software, but without the functionality you need.
for example:
cleaners (example), antiviruses (casper, drweb) and so on.
