Looks useful

[mrapoc]

If anyone knows of a better one please say but this indeed does look useful

http://ubcd.sourceforge.net/

[Steve]

I think that's a good one its often mentioned.

Perhaps we can have a dedicated thread purely for useful / must have tools? Links to the software only with no discussion? Would be a helpful index of tools for me certainly

[Rik]

We could open up 'Tools for speeding up a PC' to a wider range, Sam. Preventing discussion might be a different matter though.

[mrapoc]

haha true looking at the nature of all idnetters threads

Unless you are willing to add any relevant ones into a locked thread if deemed worthy?

[Rik]

That would be the only way, Sam. A locked reference thread and an open discussion thread.

[mrapoc]

Like the announcements kinda thing

Up to you / admins entirely as you would have the workload 

Well off to go sledging - wish me a soft ground and a safe ride 

[Rik]

Be careful, Sam, take a good look at the terrain.

[Glenn]

I prefer this http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd

[Rik]

I notice McAfee rates that site as amber, Glenn.

[Glenn]

I don't download it from there

[Rik]

Ah.

[Glenn]

One of many download sites http://soft.softoogle.com/ap/hiren-s-bootcd-download-6916.shtml

[Rik]

Thanks, Glenn. 

[mrapoc]

Even better thanks

Well I got back safe, went down the hill on a piece of floor vinyl

The "wood" side dont half fly 

[Rik]

Glad you had fun, Sam. I was just talking to Tim and he was in the mood for a bit of sledging.

The "problem" with Hiren's excellent CD is that not all of the software on it is freeware/shareware and a number of software suppliers have complained about the inclusion of their utilities on his disk.

This version of a UBCD is "better" in that all the software on it is there legally.

Both really useful though.
