FlashBoot
| FlashBoot is a tool to create bootable USB disks, USB Flash Memory keys and cards mainly. What are the advantages of such devices for you? Let's see: unlike the most bootable Medias, bootable USB Flash keys are very handy: compared to floppies, they have much bigger size, speed and reliability, compared to CD-ROMs, they are random write access devices, so you can backup your data to the same media where you started from, without need to reformat (reburn) all average. Also, the cost per MB to further reduce the recent times, which is not the case for floppies and CD-ROM. And the most important thing is that you can use bootable USB Flash Disk almost everywhere, on any PC that has a USB port. You fix your computer at your work without CD-ROMs, floppies or other media? No more problems. Or you have a laptop but without a CD-ROM drive? Even if with a CD-ROM drive, you can run it for a long time: boot device accessed quite often, and battery power is obviously not enough to supply laser for a long time. Perhaps you are a home user with a desktop personal computer. And you're ready to fix with your favorite bootable CD-ROM, OK. But what if CD-ROM drive fails? You can start or get back data back? With bootable USB Flash Memory key, you can remove every PC with USB ports, regardless of non-present or broken devices, because theres no need for any other equipment. You do not have a size limit of an average of 700 or 800 MB anymore, and buy a big or a small disk according to your needs. Just after boot, on every computer, you can save your files to the same device from which you started, or restore them. Theres no need to reformat (reburn) the boot disk, you just copy files and folders, and theres no need extra hardware for such operations. Of course you can do some things you can do under your OS: copy / modify system files (they are busy when OS is running), reinstall OS, repartition your main hard disk etc. FlashBoot is a tool to make USB disks bootable. It was specially designed to work with USB Flash devices. It is used to reformat flash disk (which is optional) and transfer system files to it. You have many options for your choice: convert BartPE bootable CD-ROM to bootable USB disk transfer DOS kernel only (you can get the files from installed Windows 9x, from Windows 9x setup folder, or use built-FreeDOS) convert floppy disk to USB Flash disk (floppy disk or an image file may be used) convert a bootable CD-ROM to USB Flash disk (again images are supported). There are some technical difficulties with supporting any type of CD-ROM here, see details below. But there should be no problems with most real cases. You may convert Knoppix and EBCD, for example. create Windows NT/2000/XP password recovery disk create disk with NT/2000/XP bootloader. It is useful when you have mistakenly configured, and boot.ini file was on unreachable disk (NTFS). duplicate USB flash drive. Just create a copy of existing disk USB flash disk, different sizes of source and destination Medias is OK. You can also download FlashBoot Portable |
