Ultimate Boot CD v1.0 [6.0M] Windows FREE All-you-can-want boot CD} I'm a bad girl. I don't have a special boot CD or diskette around here. There are too many options, and I never know what I need in a boot disk. This one sounds like the solution for a person in my situation because it fits as many diagnostic tools as possible onto the CD. It comes with a memory diagnostic tool and a few hard drive utilities. Those who DO have bootable floppies can dump them all for one nice CD package. All you do is boot up with the CD and it goes right to the menu, waiting for you to select the tool to use. Note: The Web site does not list specific OS compatibility information, although the program was tested successfully on Windows XP. [Meryl] [Lockergnome Windows Daily]
