Realistically I wouldn't bother buddy , it was bored old sods i.e. Me and GJ, plus Spud who only turned up at occasional evenings and weekends(Hi Spud:j) Xboot is still working fine for me but it's like all true free software the guy who wrote it moved on and found other things to devote his (oops sorry girls , or her) creating genius onto something else but hey ho that's life:cool:

Edited: Ooops sorry GJ missed thanking you too :cool:

no probs matey, it was fun reading back through that thread, didn't realise it was sooo long ago now, but the ol' Transcend USB is still going strong and has been very useful on many occasions, makes me wonder how we survived without it before

Couldn't resist. Sorry aliEnRIK,

XBoot still going strong here, same as GJ, still on original 8GB Kingston.

GPartEd
Ophcrack
Xubuntu
PartedMagic * See below
HBCD
Clonezilla

Because it's formatted FAT32, it's easy to have an extra folder containing various portable Windows programs, such as,

Palemoon
CCleaner
Recuva

Also TestDisk, some key readers, and a couple of others for sniffing passwords.

For one job, I had 2 attempts at creating a Kaspersky rescue usb using Kaspersky's own usb creating tool, but it worked first time using XBoot.

* PartedMagic contains grub-doctor for more or less, 'one click' Grub repair, especially useful if Windows has over written your boot.
