Vista - Looking for bootable recovery software

Hi All,

I am looking for bootable recovery software that can restore a bootable
partition that got corrupted. Any recommendations are appreciated. I checked
with Acronics and it does not repair a corrupted partition.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric,

Do you mean something like GParted that you can use to boot in and reformat, or use to make a partition active, or are you after something like a bootable version of checkdisk ?

SourceForge.net: GParted

PC Pro: Computer Shopper Labs:

Using GParted to Resize Your Windows Vista Partition :: the How-To Geek

You might try freebie Seatools for DOS - you can download it and make a bootable cd - it can check for and repair bad sectors

Seagate Technology - SeaTools

Or you could try UBCD but it's tricky to configure

PC World - Six Downloadable Boot Discs That Could Save Your PC

Hope this helps

Hi There,

In case the boot secion is corrupted, and looking to see what tools are out
there either for Vista or XP. I mean having the capability to boot from
bootable cd and use some tools like bootable version of CheckDisk and
others to repiar the C partition.

Thanks,

Eric
