Ultimate Boot CD [UBCD]

UBCD is a tool I’ve used for years and its free! With dozens upon dozens of tools you rarely need anything else. It includes but not limited to hard drive testers, memory diagnostics, password resets, virus removals, and tons more! Its primary a collection of tools used to repair a computer that won’t boot.

You need the Ultimate Boot CD if you want to:

New features in UBCD V5.x include:

When you boot up from the CD, a text-based menu will be displayed, and you will be able to select the tool you want to run. The selected tool actually boots off a virtual floppy disk created in memory.
