Utilities with similar functionality on the CD are grouped together and seem redundant however, they present choices through UI differences. Hiren's Boot CD has an extensive list of software. It is a Bootable CD thus, it can be useful even if the primary operating system cannot be booted. Using defragmentation software on USB flash drives is not recommended because the repeated read/writes will shorten their life span.Hiren's Boot CD is a boot CD containing various diagnostic programs such as partitioning agents, system performance benchmarks, disk cloning and imaging tools, data recovery tools, MBR tools, BIOS tools, and many others for fixing various computer problems. Always use a freshly formated stick where nothing has been deleted. For example if a small file is deleted and subsequently a larger file is written, chances are, the larger file will be fragmented. Fragmentation happens when files are written in space left by the deletion of other files. If an iso image is fragmented it will not boot. When transferring iso images to bootable USB sticks or drives, care must be taken so that iso images are written contiguously. Warning: If you use a method other than the ones described here, please note that simply copying the files over to an already used USB stick is unlikely to work and some utilities may fail to boot. We describe how to partition a USB flash drive and then persuade Windows to recognize the partitions. Multipartitioning USB flash drives has some difficulty because Windows can only recognize the first partition. Now syslinux can boot from NTFS partitions (it is even possible to boot HBCD from large external hard disks) so we describe this option too. Until recently, because of the limitations of the bootloader syslinux, USB flash drives could only be formated FAT32. The restored edition of Hiren’s Boot CD employs a combination of the bootloaders syslinux and grub4dos so the method described in Hiren’s web page 1 does not work for the restored edition. The quickest and most accurate method is to use Linux command line tools, however Windows can be also used with equally good results. 6 5 Computers without optical drive 10 Introduction We describe how the files of the restored/extended Hiren’s BootCD (HBCD) can be transferred to a USB memory stick (flash drive) and how the later can be made bootable using exclusively tools provided by the HBCD. 6 4.3 Making the second partition visible to Windows. 5 4.2 Format the partitions and transfer HBCD to USB.
