Boot from CD
Compare Boot Disk solutions
Following is a list of solutions to boot from a CD. All solutions were downloaded and tested by myself.
My criteria were that they had to be:
1. Friendly solutions geared toward the average PC user (rather than the IT professional)
2. Powerful enough to perform common system recovery actions.
3. Free solutions are always my best choice…
I didn’t want to load this table with numerous features and capabilities but rather to concentrate on the very basic parameters that an avarage Boot CD user cares about – ease of use and price!
