The <a href="http://www.ubcd4win.com" rel="nofollow">Ultimate Boot CD For Windows</a> should be used as a superior alternative and can also be highly customized with software you legally own as well as much freeware. Freeware is great - and when there's a useful piece of it, you should definitely keep it in your tool box - BUT READ THE LICENSING - some are free for PERSONAL use while charging for COMMERCIAL use (use when performing services for money on other people's systems). If you really want a Technician's Tool Kit, I would suggest reviewing the Articles on my site - one is an EXTENSIVE listing of everything you should consider keeping relatively closely at hand.
