System Rescue CD is a collection of programs on a bootable CD for creating and restoring backups, and for repairing Windows when disaster strikes.

Because it is a bootable CD, it does not depend on Windows being able to start but it is still able to read files from a Windows hard disk.

The software on the CD includes tools for repairing problems with the hard disk and it can connect to the internet as well for finding answers to problems. Internet access is also useful for saving files.
