SystemRescueCD 1.5.8

SystemRescueCD is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM for repairing your system and recovering your data after a crash. It aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the partitions of the hard disk. It contains a lot of system utilities (parted, partimage, fstools, ...) and basic tools (editors, midnight commander, network tools). It is very easy to use: just boot the CDROM. The kernel supports most of the important file systems (ext2/ext3, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, vfat, ntfs, iso9660), as well as network filesystems (samba and nfs).

Here are some of the main system tools:

• GNU Parted is the best tool for editing your disk partitions under linux
• GParted is a Partition Magic clone for Linux
• Partimage is a Ghost/Drive-image clone for Linux
• Reinstall the most common bootloaders used with Linux
• File systems tools (e2fsprogs, reiserfsprogs, reiser4progs, xfsprogs, jfsutils, ntfsprogs, dosfstools) allow you to format, resize, debug an existing partition of your hard disk
• Sfdisk allows you to backup and restore your partition table
• Test-disk tool recovers lost partitions and/or makes non-booting disks bootable again; supports reiserfs, ntfs, fat32, ext2/3 and many others
• Rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility for making backups of local and remote systems
• EVMS (Enterprise Volume Management System) is a powerful logical volume manager
• Ntfs-3g for mounting NTFS partitions under Linux with full Read and Write support
• Floppy disk images (FreeDos, MemTest+, Gag, Ranish Partition Manager, Aida)
• Applications that provide other important services such as archiving, file editing, CD/DVD burning, anti-virus scanning, web browsing, and secure deletion
