BootMed is not a program, it is an Ubuntu-based boot disc tailor-made (or "remixed", in BootMed parlance) with the idea of recovering failed or malware-infected Windows PC installations. More than that, it is also to help less tech-savvy users through the process.
First BootMed do after booting is open Firefox and browse to the BootMed website if you want to display the help and advice on recycling. It has versions for both 32-bit and 64-bit computers.
I am sure that the idea of using Linux to help Windows users learn to restore their files have invoked some chuckles among the Linux community and grimaces from Microsoft, even if there is something radically new. I am using Slax and Parted Magic all the time to recover data from computers running Windows.
I am definitely adding BootMed to my bag of tools for any other reason than that it presents a small but very useful set of tools on a single desktop. These tools include GParted partition manager and wine, which you can run Windows programs that included McAfee Stinger and ClamWin remove viruses and other malicious code. Also on hand PhotoRec file recovery tool and TestDisk partition recovery and boot doctors.
Another nice BootMed adjustment is the computer icon, which will be familiar to Windows users and jump right to the file system. It allows you to copy files just as you would with Windows Explorer. For those who understand Linux commands, there is also a terminal icon (the equivalent of the command prompt in Windows).
It is a big download, but BootMed is worthwhile. It is a handy recovery, as well as teaching material. BootMed is free, but the writer/director Jake Theatre receives donations.
