Re: Hirens Boot Cd Latest Version 2020
Muredac Boule
If your computer does not support a regular Windows 11 installation, it will likely boot with the Windows 11 PE version, as Windows PE versions have significantly lower hardware requirements. For instance, if your computer boots with the Windows 10 PE version, it is highly probable that it will also boot with the Windows 11 PE version.
Upon booting, the PE version attempts to install drivers for essential components such as graphics, sound, wireless and Ethernet cards for your hardware, facilitating connection to a WIFI or Ethernet network. If your WIFI or Ethernet card is not recognized by the PE version, kindly Contact Us with your hardware model. We will strive to incorporate the necessary drivers in upcoming releases.
I work in a computer repair shop, and we use Hiren's to break passwords on customer's computers. Their are Hiren CDs all over the place of various versions, and although I would think that latest is better, sometimes newer CDs won't have the right drivers to boot, and older ones will. And certain versions don't even have the password breaker, while older ones do, which is even stranger.
I have to admit, the entire place is really messy, and when I say CDs everywhere, I mean that literally. And most of them aren't in any cases, and our work benches are made of some raw wood product, so they are also terribly scratched up. So I'm not even sure if this is due to the versioning, or because our CDs are bad. I was thinking I might download a copy, and keep some CDs in a separate case at work for my use only, but I wanted to make sure that I get a version, or set of versions, that would cover all the drivers I'll need to boot off computers ranging from ancient WinBook laptops to the latest dell gaming rigs, and be able to clear passwords.
As of version 11, Hirens removed all illegal software. He's replaced some of the programs with comparable freeware. Some people have made custom ISOs with some of the programs included in the older versions with the updated programs included in 11.0+. So either stick to pre-11 or made or find a custom version of 11.0+.
I have no idea why newer versions aren't booting. I use Hirens all the time and haven't trouble with booting. Some newer PCs have problems with specific tools on Hirens like MHDD or memtest. In that case, I just put in a standalone disc and it works.
try booting xp mode and use one of the tools in the giant menu of stuff, or see if there is a newer version of hirens. I don't want to tell you to mess with the BIOS settings or start pulling parts out of it.
I made a Hirens Boot USB just in case I ever have to use it as a rescue. Like if I have to send in my computer Dell might wipe my drive. I will need the USB to boot to to get my info off. My system came from Dell set up as RAID and it came with Secure Boot enabled.
I know I do not "need" to but I "want" to. That is the way I "want" to do it. I do not "want" Microsoft ISO. I use the Dell Recovery so I have all the Dell software I purchased. Hirens Boot is for sure safe It is a purchased version and has a Windows PE live rescue. And any other LIVE rescue does not work because like I said no USB work on F12 does not see the USB.
I cannot believe Dell locks the BIOS where user cannot use a rescue disk. I paid over $1,500 for this system. I built my last system and now I am wishing I would have skipped buying this XPS and should have built another.
I tried disabling secure boot. But when I did my system would not show anything on the screen. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. But system went haywire. I had to remove the nVidia Graphics and use onboard I re enable secure boot. I put Graphics card back in and it is fine just will not boot to the Hirens USB. Someone mentioned Macrum Reflect. I have Acronis boot USB and it will detect that one and will boot to it also. I treid making another Hirens USB and still will not detect it on F12.

Create the Macrium Reflect Rescue Flash-drive (can be Win-PE or Win-RE). It can be used against "bare-metal" (blank system) and will boot (even in UEFI/SecureBoot mode) and re-Image system to it's exact state now.
Trying to create a Hiren's BootCD on a USB. Not needing anything else such as a dual boot of Ubuntu and Haren or Window's and Haren. All the programs that I can find to complete this either end up directing me on how to create a Ubuntu boot on a usb, or how to do it on Windows. But since it is my Windows computer that I'm trying to fix I need an alternative. Please Help?
After the USB is created, mount it in Nautilus (just click the USB drive icon), go into the HBCD folder, rename the isolinux.cfg file to syslinux.cfg and copy it to the root of the USB, overwriting the existing file. Change the first line of syslinux.cfg from DEFAULT /HBCD/Boot/menu.c32 to DEFAULT menu.c32.
None of the below methods will work.Although you will get a bootable USB, it doesn't chainload anything out of the Grub Menu. This is especially true for the 'revised' edition of Hiren's Boot CD (the one with the mini-version of Windows XP)
Insert your USB drive into your PC and start Ubuntu's partition Manager. Format the drive to FAT32, primairy partition and give a nice label.While you are at it, note the device's mount location (for example /dev/sdb)
Now place the Hirens Boot CD iso-file in a new folder.Right-click the file and choose 'extract here'When it is done, delete the iso file and copy all the rest of the content to the root your USB drive.
There should be 1 folder called HBCD on the drive now, and 4 small other files.Now open the folder called HBCD and copy the files 'grldr' and 'menu.lst' to the root of the drive. Be sure to copy them, do not cut.
get hiren's Iso into your HDD. insert your USB pendrive or whatever, download rufus and proceed with burning the hiren.ISO file into the USB.once you succeeded, you need to restart your pc and check that your BIOS is configured in such a way that your boot order has your harddrive as the last thing to boot from.Also make sure, that as you reboot your pc again, and you have your USB burned and plugged, you dont have anything else that your pc might boot from.Hope it helps (btw, i just did this 30 minutes ago...) Cheers!
Saving a normal Linux user from even needing any external medium.(Though loopbacks can boot isos from other partitions/media too, if you are willing to not use grml-rescueboot and do the GRUB2 config manually.)
I don't know a whole lot about it, but I did find it listed on Tom's Guide. I don't know what tools it contains and I may be remembering wrong, but I seem to recall it possibly including some software without permission, though that was some time ago and things may have changed since then (or I could be thinking of a different boot tool).
I was looking for such boot tool because most of our oldest external hard drives are suddenly errors out after I update my windows from version 1903 to 1909 and then to plugged the CAMERA to my laptop for the first time .. that happened and while Malwarebytes and windows security both are running but we are still not able to find out the others causes .
I had the OS reinstalled already but however I Have stupidly to do wiped off the flash drive which was has the windows 10 version 1903 and I make a new files for Windows 1909 and the other problem that there are no any drivers for my windows 10 version 1909 so we do not know for sure if this is one of the other causes or not but we are still trying to figuring out !
I'm pretty sure you can use the Windows 10 media creation tool from here to create a USB to install the original version of Windows 10 with. It shouldn't include the 1909 update. Another option would be to contact your system manufacturer for recovery media.
Most systems will work with 1909 even though there are no driver updates made for Windows 10 in general. (from experience) 1909 is not really different from 1903 hence the small enablement package that moved it from 1903 to 1909.
Ah, I seemed to recall driver compatibility was one of the main reason MS wasn't rolling out the latest update to all systems at one point. I guess they've since resolved it. I recall that for a long time Windows Update refused to download/install the latest build on my system due to incompatible hardware, though they did eventually allow me to install it.
@Hardhead just did a full wipe and all partition removal and installed the latest Windows 10 on a very old computer. Did not install any MFG drivers and Windows 10 included all drivers needed for his hardware. He had a Lexmark printer on the network that auto added the drivers when he scanned to add a printer.
As for Hirens, that is illegal. Please do not discuss downloads or links, etc. as that is against forum policy. There are plenty of sites and resources on the Web where you can get further information.
an update : I forget to mentioned that the OS has the drive is a MBR with windows 1903 . then I had to wipe out all partitions and after this I use the Media creation tool for windows 1909 with the recommended option to make a GPT for the laptop drive , And then I change the BIOS to UEFI to fix a problem here
so SHOULD I reverting back to old version of the WINDOWS 10 ? and why the partition software shows an unknown partition of a newly WINDOWS OS reinstalled ? may be there is other reasons of the problem caused by something else ?
