The Emergency Boot USB Disk

The Emergency Boot USB disk allows you to boot up in case your computer is having a bad day.

Recently I've been working on the Emergency Boot USB disk. This is a product I started 10 years ago as the Emergency Boot CD. It has evolved and now I put my current software build on USB disks. USB 3.0 disks now have much better transfer rates, as well as much more storage capacity.

The concept is fairly simple: it's a tool that allows you to boot your PC in case it's unable to start whether it's because of file corruption, viruses, hard drive failure or other mishaps. The scenario is pretty typical: your computer won't boot up or it endlessly loops during boot up and never completes loading the Operating System. I've been doing computer support for around twenty years so I know what is going on under the hood of Microsoft Windows. The most typical causes of failure is corrupted Windows files, viruses or malware infecting your computer, bad sectors on a hard drive, or complete hardware failure.

The Emergency Boot USB allows you to boot up regardless of the condition of the hard drive. You're able to scan for viruses and remove them, backup all your files and folders to an medium like a  external hard drive, a cloud account at Apple iCloud, Box.Com, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive.

It includes software to create an image of the hard drive and save it. In case of  hardware failure you can restore the image onto a new hard drive with all of your application software, Documents, and Operating System intact. It features software applications to create a disk image and file backup, password reset, disk repair, disk defragmentation, virus scanning and file recovery. These are the tools I use on a daily basis and have used them on dozens of client computers of all types like Acer, Asus, Compaq, Dell, Levono,  Hewlett-Packard and the standard everyday clone PC.

These will be available for sale on a USB 3.0 fast high-speed drive, the highest quality USB stick available. As a base platform I'm using Windows 10 PE in a 32 bit environment on a 16 Gb (GigaByte) USB disk. In addition to that I am bundling dozens of other software packages from antivirus programs, graphics editors and viewers, text editors and Internet browsers and utilities. The release date is May. I will be listing all the software programs and will include an instruction manual.

I will be making this available soon on my eBay store.
