Solve : Troubleshooting toolkit./Resolved?

Answer»

I already have:
Knoppix LIVE cd.
Ntfs4Dos
ReadNtfs
Bootdisk with Delpart
Boot cd's
Memtest86
Seatools diagnostics
OS cd's (all with COA)
Copies of Hal.dll, ntldr, ntdetect, boot.ini

Apart from regular backups would anyone care to post what is considered essentials in a troubleshooting toolkit please.it really depends on the trouble you have??Another good all rounder would be UBCD and/or UBCD4Win.
The former has a CLI, the latter a Windows-like interface.
Both include a lot of USEFUL tools.Quote from: unlovedwarrior on June 24, 2007, 02:01:20 AM

Not really helpful when one is TRYING to prepare in advance, don't really want to wait for trouble before making some sort of effort to gather a toolkit..

But thanks anyway.

A good list to begin with...
I'd also consider adding bootdisks for all Windows flavors. A pain i know but you never know when you may need them.
Also the other HDD manufacturers diagnostics as well.

A browser of choice.
A HEX editor ( can be dangerous).
DXDiag.

And a collection of generic mouse, CDRom and video drivers.


Calum & Patio - thank you or your suggestions...

You're welcome, hope you find them useful.
