[Kansas Eiffel]

Active@ Boot Disk Creator helps you prepare a bootable CD/DVD/Blu-ray or USB Flash mass storage device that you can use to start a machine with a damaged hard drive and recover data, recover partitions, wipe or erase data, create a disk image or repair security access issues.

If your USB Disk is not displayed in a combo-box, click the link below and initialize it properly. The only 32GB or less size partitions supported (for best compatibility with all types of BIOS & UEFI Secure Boot systems), so if you have 64GB USB, initialize it with the only 32GB partition.

If you've created ISO Image file, you can burn it up later on, either using our free Active@ ISO Burner utility (www.ntfs.com/iso-burning.htm), or have a disk burning utility that you prefer to use, use it to burn the ISO on a disk. Section 1.3.2 has instructions for some other utilities.

Active@ Boot Disk provides an easy and reliable solution for accessing data and repairing your computer in the event that Windows completely refuses to start up. It contains a complete set of useful utilities to assist you with repair tasks, data recovery, system maintenance and data security...

To continue the train of reviews on software developed by LSoft Technologies Inc., I'll be reviewing one of their core products: Active@ Boot Disk. What this software proves itself to be is a powerful disk utility tool that allows the user to create a portable, working bootable disk that...

For example, if I'm booted from Windows PE, or remoting into a system using psexec or another command-line based method. I know that diskpart.exe allows you to set the active partition, but I can't find any way of seeing which partition is currently active.

If you can figure out some way of programmatically (e.g. batch script) getting the drive letter from the disk and partition index, you may wish to use a for loop with the members DiskIndex and Index (disk and partition indexes, respectively).

LSoft Technologies is proud to announce the launch of version 13 of its popular disk utilities suite, Active@ Boot Disk. Launched on April 13th, the newest edition ships with the most current versions of all the included disk utility tools - Active@ Disk Image 9, Active@ UNDELETE 14, Active@ File Recovery 17, Active@ Partition Recovery 17 and Active@ Password Changer 9. The interface has also been upgraded to be consistent with build 1709 of Windows 10. The core operating system is now based on WinPE 10.0.16299.15 to provide an instantly familiar and independent operating environment that allows you to access a computer that otherwise refuses to boot. Once you have installed Active@ Boot Disk onto an optical disk or USB flash drive, you can start up almost any computer, even if it doesn`t have an operating system or even a hard drive installed.

If you find one day that your computer seems to have failed without warning, and every attempt to boot is met with a blue screen error message or nothing at all, then you might be tempted to try and install Windows again from scratch using your original installation media. However, doing so will likely delete all your data. With Active@ Boot Disk on your side, you can diagnose and repair problems or, if that doesn`t work out, safely move over all your documents to a new drive. You can also recover deleted data and partitions after losing them to a malware attack, accidental deletion or anything else.

A master boot record (MBR) is a particular type of boot sector at the very beginning of partitioned storage device that holds the information on how the logical partitions, containing file systems, are organized on that medium.

The MBR functions as a loader (bootloader) for the installed operating system. It usually passes control over to the loader's second stage, or in conjunction with each partition's volume boot record (VBR).

A bit more elegant solution is performing the fix from the bootable drive (Active@ Boot Disk) that comes with Active@ Undelete Professional. Alternatively, you can use our Active@ Partition Recovery for the same purpose.

Insert a USB or CD/DVD drive into the computer and run Boot Disk Creator that came with Undelete Professional. Select the drive where you want to install boot disk, if required initialize it and then click Next.

Verify your settings and click on Create. Boot disk should be created within a couple of minutes. After the creation has been completed, your bootable drive is ready for use. When using it on the malfunctioning PC, enter the BIOS and set Boot Priority on the bootable drive.

If MBR is out of order you should be seeing a similar picture as in our example. Fixing the MBR is straightforward from now on. Simply click on the Reset button at the bottom left corner of the screen.

If all the check marks in the left column are green, then you have successfully recovered your MBR. All you need to do now is click OK and restart your computer. Your system should boot without any issues.

Active@ Boot Disk Creator helps you in preparing a bootable CD/DVD/Blu-ray or a USB Flash mass storage device. This device can be used to start a computer with a damaged hard drive and recover data, recover partitions, wipe or erase data, create a disk image or repair security access issues.

Remember to set a password recovery option if you ever forget your password again. This will allow you to trigger a reset process which will help you regain access to your account. This should include providing answers to secret questions or getting codes through your existing phone number or email address.

I'm need to find a method to programmatically determine which disk drive Windows is using to boot. In other words, I need a way from Windows to determine which drive the BIOS is using to boot the whole system.

p.s. Just reading the first sectors of the hard disk isn't reveling anything. On my dev box I have two hard disks, and when I look at the contents of the first couple of sectors on either of the hard disks I have a standard boiler plate MBR.

Edit to clarify a few things.The way I want to identify the device is with a string which will identify a physical disk drive (as opposed to a logical disk drive). Physical disk drives are of the form "\\.\PHYSICALDRIVEx" where x is a number. On the other hand, a logical drive is identified by a string of the form, "\\.\x" where x is a drive letter.

Edit to discuss a few of the ideas that were thrown out.Knowing which logical volume Windows used to boot doesn't help me here. Here is the reason. Assume that C: is using a mirrored RAID setup. Now, that means we have at least two physical drives. Now, I get the mapping from Logical Drive to Physical Drive and I discover that there are two physical drives used by that volume. Which one did Windows use to boot? Of course, this is assuming that the physical drive Windows used to boot is the same physical drive that contains the MBR.

You can use WMI to figure this out. The Win32_BootConfiguration class will tell you both the logical drive and the physical device from which Windows boots. Specifically, the Caption property will tell you which device you're booting from.

2 and 3 should be easy to find - I'm not so sure about 1. Though you can raw disk read to find an MBR, that doesn't mean it's the BIOS boot device this time or even next time (you could have multiple disks with MBRs).

You really can't even be sure that the PC was started from a hard drive - it's perfectly possible to boot Windows from a floppy. In that case, both 1 and 2 would technically be a floppy disk, though 3 would remain C:\Windows.

On Windows 10.Open "Computer Management"Look for "Storage" in list "left top side of page"select "Disk Management"On section of page showing the list of disks and the partitions find the disk that has the partition assigned as drive C:On that disk containing C: partitionUse the right mouse button to select the Square section containing The Disk Number, Type of drive and size in GB . When menu opens select the Properties.A window will open showing what drive hardware was used.
