Yes.

Hi,
I believe it's better to use a smaller device so it's not corrupted accidently = it is your image recovery

I use a 16GB multiboot USB stick prepared with YUMI YUMI.

Real easy to use. I added:
- memtest86+-5.01
- Win_Password_Reset
- Partition_Wizard_Free_9
- Ultimate_Boot_CD_ubcd533
- SystemRescueCD-x86-4.5.2
- PCLinuxOS64-kde-2014.12
- KNOPPIX_V7.4.2DVD-2014-09-28-EN
- Acronis_Media
- Macrium_Rescue
- Paragon_Recovery
- Repair_disc_Windows_7_64-bit
- Windows_7_Ultimate_x64_Setup
- puredyne-911-carrot_and_coriander-DVD-amd64
- AOMEI_Partition_Assistant_Pro_WinPE

DO I use all of these? No but nice to have just in case.

Oh and if you put Win7 Repair Disk in you will have to modify menu.lst file with notepad to resemble the below format:

title Windows 7 32-bit Repair Disc
 find --set-root /multiboot/ISOS/Win7_32bitRepairDisc.iso
 map (hd1) (hd0)
 map /multiboot/ISOS/Win7_32bitRepairDisc.iso (hd32)
 map --hook
 root (hd32)
 chainloader /BOOTMGR

This changes the USB and HDD mappings, otherwise repair disk will see USB and offer to repair it etc.

i have windows XP system

As far as I know, all of the above (Win7 repair disk excluded) should work on XP too as they have no connection to the OS. They will even work if there is no OS installed.

Not sure about password reset program though, but that's an old program so even that should work. By the way, I renamed that one, actual name is (Offline) NT Password Reset (and Registry Editor) if you wish to download it.

sure send me the link please

YUMI

yumi is not for linux??and about repair disk and this code , no idea

title Windows 7 32-bit Repair Disc find --set-root /multiboot/ISOS/Win7_32bitRepairDisc.iso map (hd1) (hd0) map /multiboot/ISOS/Win7_32bitRepairDisc.iso (hd32) map --hook root (hd32) chainloader /BOOTMGR

 

[GokAy]

you can use yumi for Linux too

title Windows 7 32-bit Repair Disc find - that part is a fix you need to make in order for a Windows 7 Repair Disk to work with yumi, it changes the hdd and usb drives order so that hdd becomes the 1st disk

man i todl you i have windows xp..ok i will search and see Windows 7 32-bit Repair Disc

This is a Windows 7 forum hence the emphasis on Windows 7. XP is no longer supported and I don't think a Windows 7 system repair disk / ISO is going to help much.

Useful tip GokAy for adding system repair iso for W7 users.

I know you have xp, Win7 repair Disk info is not for you, I just gave it as an extra information for those that read this thread.

I guess we are hitting a slight language wall here.

From YUMI FAQ:
Since version 0.0.7.6, YUMI supports Windows XP Install from USB via ISO.
The Windows XP Installation from USB option currently works by booting directly from your XP ISO, hence the YUMI menu entry is created under "Directly Bootable ISOs". In order for the Windows XP installation to succeed, you must perform the following steps;
1.) To begin an install, select (Stage 1)
2.) Upon first reboot, you must select (Stage 2)
3.) Finally, after (Stage 2) is complete – upon the second reboot, select (Stage 3) to boot the drive where you installed Windows XP. If this option fails, simply remove the USB and reboot!
Your ISO file name must contain no spaces.
