Hiren's boot cd

Can anyone tell me how to use this boot cd after i have made it. I tried rebooting with it and it just showed a bounch of stuff and then it went to A:\ but I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. Any info would be very helpfull maybe there is a link to a site which tells how to use this cd?

 

If you are talking about the one from http://62.253.162.19/hiren.thanki/bootcd.html it is a large collection of utilities to use when you need specific information or when something is broken and there is a 'fix it' tool or similar.

You may need some of the utilities on the CD at some point but I doubt that anyone other than a repair tech would ever need most of them. You would need to know which one was needed for a certain task and how to use it but they are different programs by different authors and don't have a common interface so they all act differently.

A couple of the items there are already out of date and you'd need to update before using them.

Did you have a specific need that caused you to get the CD?

thanks, guys for your info. I just wanted it incase I had a problem, then maybe it would help in fixing my comp. but when i reboot with the disk I cant figure out how to access the programs on the cd.

 

If it does not build some sort of menu then you will need to locate the various .exe files for the utilities and run whichever you need at the time.

If you can burn data to the CD, it might be worth making a start menu for yourself and saving it there.
