2. Introduction
• Hiren's BootCD (also known as HBCD) is a bootable
software CD containing a number of 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.
Many people consider HBCD an invaluable tool for use
in troubleshooting and recovery of computers
• As it is bootable, the operating system of the computer
need not be available for the tools to be usable. All
that is required is that the computer is able to run
Microsoft Windows and Linux.
9. Main Tools
• Partition Tools
• Backup & Recovery
• Antivirus Tools
• Testing Tools
• Password Tools
• Mini Windows XP
• Other Tools
10. Partition Tools
• Partition means to divide a certain part of a hard drive for backup and system files,
like separating a part from the whole.
• In most computers, the primary disk is C:, since it hold the operating system and
program files. When a hard drive on the computer is partitioned, there are 2
independent drives, the primary for the OS, and the other for backup files.
• Since the 2 drives are independent, the drives work isolated and when becomes
corrupt, the other is not affected.
• As a computer user, the person may opt to modify, resize the total capacity or
delete any partitions made within the computer through the compiled list of
programs which include Macrium Reflect, Partition Image and Partition Saving as
one of the programs included.
• And that way, the creation of hard drive partitions without the need of installing an
OS like Windows, Linux or Mac is lessened, which is the main goal of these
computer programs, that is to add, modify or remove computer drive partitions
without compromising the reinstallation of an Operating System.
11. Backup & Recovery
• Files maybe sometimes irretrievable due to being accidentally
deleted or the file was not recognized by the computer
system
• BootCD has a list of programs that can be used to backup,
recover and retrieve files easily and with no hassle.
• Software like these include GetDataBack, HDD Scan and
Recuva, from the makers of the CCleaner software, Piriform.
12. Antivirus Tools
• Most computers require an antivirus program. An antivirus
program can be defined as a certain computer program
designed to program and maintain the computer secure,
meaning free of viruses and corrupt data
• Some programs included are Avira AntiVirus, SpyBot: Search &
Destroy, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
13. Testing Tools
• The BootCD software has programs that can help in
maintaining computer stability. It also has programs to check
errors on the hardware installed. Aside from these, a certain
program can estimate the life of hard disk or hardware
installed.
• It can give a report that a certain computer component has
physical damage and the user has to check if it has an error in
placement or the device is really defective.
14. Password Tools
• Passwords are an important security feature in most systems.
But as time passes by, a certain user may forget such
passwords.
• The BootCD software contains programs like Autologon,
WindowsGate, or Windows Key Finder help manage and
remember passwords for forgetful PC users.
• Certain programs also provide password encryption and
requirement for hard drive writing or removal of files or
simply to secure the net as well.
15. Mini Windows XP
• A simple version of Windows XP is made as an option to be
used in cases that require a separate or independent OS, like
in a scenario that a certain computer has been filled with
viruses.
• That way, another OS is working on the installed Operating
System, and the user can use any available program to clean
such viruses without having the need to reformat.
