    Rescuing personal data from a comp that won't boot. Created a bootable USB flash drive.


    Somehow, my HP laptop refuses to boot. I created a bootable USB flash drive, but I'm worried about all of my files, pictures, documents, music, videos, house designs, etc., still on the hard drive that refuses to boot. I desperately want to save them. Will reinstalling Win10, or resetting my laptop delete my data? Is there a way I can save it all?

    :)

    Want to create a bootable rescue usb flash drive

    I tried kaspersky boot drive rescue disk file: kav_rescue_10.iso that I dd to the usb flash drive and it boots but it crashes when scanning. Is there a way to create these disks I think I got the idea from here long ago too. I need something I can use on any pc that can boot from the usb drive to act as a saviour drive thing. Also has to be able to update its database. my drive has 16gb and a write off switch. paid 7$ for it on ebay 2 years ago. the ready only switch works perfectly in my opinion but can't say for sure it can stand all forms of attacks against writing other than switching the switch by hand.

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

    Kaspersky's software can possible be buggy. Try another software. In the following link various alternative programs are listed: 16 Free Bootable Antivirus Programs
