Default Do it all Disc

Hey guys. I am wondering if there is a do it all boot up disc. im looking for anti virus scanners,ram checkers whatnot. programs to do system scans and troubleshooting. instead of having 30 discs for scanning components like mem 86 and whatnot.

I will second that. It's a collection of open source/free downloaded stuff. Also if you're not opposed to using illegal software there's Hiren's Boot CD.. I've not used it but i would guess the software could have copyright issues. Hiren's BootCD 10.0 - www.hiren.info

BartPE can do this kind of stuff, and is open so you can add in your own apps. winXP based.

+1 for Hiren's Boot CD. Though as mentioned, you need to obtain it from torrents since it uses pre-registered software, thus being illegal.

Hiren's and Ultimate, I use them both.

For virus scans though I prefer Kaspersky Rescue Disk or BitDefender Rescue CD.
