Ultimate Boot CD Freeware

This is a cool bit of kit :)

Run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives. More and more PCs are shipped without floppy drives these days, and it is such a pain when you need to run diagnostic tools on them.

Even if you do have a floppy drive, it is still much much faster to run your diagnostic tools from the CDROM drive, rather than wait for the tool to load from the floppy drive.

Run Ultimate Boot CD from your USB memory stick. A script on the CD prepares your USB memory stick so that it can be used on newer machines that supports booting from USB devices, this needs to be accsessed from BIOS, You can access the same tools as you would from the CD version.
