Recovery tools in event of Windows XP blue screen of death

October 24, 2008

What recovery tools.are needed in the event of a software failure and I need

to boot to Windows and/or rebuild system.

To be able to test hard drive for hardware problems

To boot into Windows from a CD to do a system restore when F8 doesn't work

Thanks.

A win cd or recovery cd, though if its a recovery cd which only does

destructive recovery you will lose everything on the PC.

Making the recovery Consol an option available to your boot up

A bootable floppy/cd from the HD manufacturers site containing the HD test

utilities.

An Image of your sytstem located on other media

Backups of your data on other media

Generally its not software failure but HW failure
