SystemRescue is a Linux system rescue disk available as a bootable CD-ROM or USB stick for administrating or repairing your system and data after a crash. It aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the hard disk partitions.
It comes with a lot of software such as disk management tools (parted, partimage, fsarchiver, filesystem tools, ...), network administration programs and simple text editors . It can be used for both Linux and windows computers, and on desktops as well as servers.
This rescue system requires no installation as it can be booted from a CD/DVD drive, and USB stick, or from the network using PXE. But it can be installed on the hard disk if you wish. It comes with up to date kernels to provide support for recent hardware and also for all important file systems (ext2/ext3/ext4, xfs, btrfs, ntfs, reiserfs, vfat), as well as network filesystems (samba and nfs).

As Karl Maulden used to say, "Don't leave home without it." So I follow Karl's advice and keep a USB stick (and a CDROM) copy of SystemRescueCd in my car at all times. That way, whenever I find a computer for sale at a yard sale or in a store, I can use the copy to quickly assess its working condition and its internals (drives, video, BIOS, etc.) before purchasing a "cat-in-the-bag." It saves time and MONEY.

Once SystemRescueCd saved me on USB, I pray for this project.

THE BEST! Finally a turning point in System Rescue CD development! The 6.0.0 version is stunning and shows that this project is alive and the SysRescCD is still one of the best (it's my favorite) admin tools around. This version is now based on Arch instead of Gentoo and here we can find all the software updated to the last version: Updated kernel to Long-Term-Supported linux-4.19.19 ddrescue 1.23 partclone 3.11 fsarchiver 0.8.5 gparted 0.33 firefox 65 and many more. 32 bit has been dropped and now it works on 64 bit only (for 32 bit you can still use the 5.3.2 version). A "second birth" for System Rescue CD! Thank you!
