Hiren's Boot CD is a vast collection of bootable and portable
utilities for the management, diagnosis and repair of computer
problems, recover lost or deleted files or cracking passwords.
In addition, HBCD provides a means to take control of any
computer and communicate with other computers, surf the internet,
write documents or programs, without booting the installed
operating system. There are literally hundreds of utilities and
it is advised that you explore the contents before the need for
it arises. Hiren's Boot CD can be used in two ways:
1. As a boot CD to take control of the computer without starting
the installed operating system so that we can do repairs or clone
the main disk, recover files, test the memory and hardware,
clean severe viral infections, et.c. To do any of these simply boot the
computer from the CD and select a utility from the menu.
Note that the options include a couple of Linux rescue environments
which provide many powerful tools for solving and repairing
Windows and Linux problems.
2. As a collection of portable repair and diagnostic utilities
which can be run from within Windows without installation.
To do this insert the CD when Windows is running and
select a utility from the HBCD Program Launcher menu.
If the CD does not autorun you may start the menu by running
\HBCD\HBCDMenu.exe.
When the operating system not functional or unavailable the
portable utilities may be still be used if we boot the
Mini Windows XP environment included in the CD. (4th option of
the main boot menu).
----------------------------------------------------------------
For example Norton Ghost can be started in three ways:
-- Boot the CD, select "Dos Programs" and then "Norton Ghost".
(useful if we wish to clone or restore the main hard disk
and there is not enough memory to boot Mini Windows XP).
-- Boot the CD, select "Mini Windows XP" and then select Ghost
from the HBCD Program Launcher menu.
-- Boot to your windows operating system, insert the CD and
select Ghost from the HBCD Program Launcher menu.
Same for Acronis.
-- Can be booted from HBCD Dos menu (older versions).
-- Can be Booted directly from main menu (2011 versions).
-- Run from Mini XP (Thanks Ha Son [10]).
-- Run from installed Windows XP/Vista/7.
