DiskInternals Boot CD 1.3, published by DiskInternals Research, is a system-recovery utility designed to create a self-starting optical disc that launches a minimal yet fully graphical Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista environment without touching the host hard drive. Built around the Windows Preinstallation Environment concept, the program guides users through a wizard that merges official Microsoft setup files from an existing licensed CD/DVD with a complete suite of DiskInternals data-recovery tools, producing a single bootable rescue medium. Once the disc is burned, administrators, technicians and home users can restart a failed workstation and access a familiar Windows desktop from which they can run partition repair, undelete, file-system reconstruction and even VMFS Recovery™ modules that specialize in retrieving lost virtual-machine volumes. Typical use cases include restoring master boot records, salvaging accidentally formatted partitions, extracting data from mechanically unstable disks, and regaining control of PCs that refuse to start because of corrupted system files or ransomware attacks. The resulting Boot CD keeps network drivers, Explorer shell and DiskInternals utilities ready in RAM, so the damaged primary storage remains read-only and further deterioration is avoided during extraction. Version 1.3 is the first and current release of the product, offering straightforward media creation on any Windows edition still capable of running the lightweight authoring interface. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
