Boot-Repair-Disk

When your computer fails to boot to Windows, and you cannot find what's causing it to behave that way, you might find it useful to have a rescue disk at hand. One can be created with Boot-Repair-Disk, a tool that can diagnose the booting process and help you find a solution.

With a very suggestive name, Boot-Repair-Disk can be used as a solution of last resort if nothing else is working. The application is only available in ISO format, which means you can use it to create either a bootable CD or a bootable USB flash drive using a dedicated tool.

Once you have your bootable rescue media, you must plug it in (if it is a flash drive) or insert it into the drive (if it is a CD) and restart your computer to boot from it. The main window enables you to choose the language before proceeding, also displaying menus for mode selection, keymap configuration, and other tools.

Boot-Repair-Disk is built on an Ubuntu-like OS, comprising various tools you can work with, including a web browser to access the Internet and find solutions to your problem.

The main utility that should help you with your booting problems is named 'Boot Repair' and it is launched as soon as the Boot-Repair-Disk interface is visible. You can use this application to analyze the computer configuration and its booting process, and generate a BootInfo summary that can be used to ask for the opinion of anyone else who addresses the issue.

What's more important, the Boot Repair tool can perform some recommended repairs (if any problem is detected at all), which should be enough to fix common issues. However, if that doesn't work, you should forward the BootInfo summary to an expert.

Boot-Repair-Disk comes in handy in situations when your computer refuses to boot. The package includes Boot-Info and the OS uninstaller tool. The first can analyze the booting process, and the latter can remove the operating system for good (note that this function might result in serious data loss). And although your problem might not be solved completely, it is worth a try.
