It would save risking OS corruption when overclocking. If it needs to be able to write then it could be USB stick based I guess. Cheers, -- Shaun. |

Cheers, With a partition and boot manager you can make a little system partition to boot from that can be sacrificed, and restored from an image. I use bootitng. But I'm planning to overclock someone's pc on a visit out of town and it would be nice not to have to mess with the partitions. --- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Iraq Veterans Against the War: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

Maybe. I don't know, I can't remember. Anyway mcnlive is amazing on any pc that I have tried it on. |

I don't know of any pre-existing .iso files to do that job but you could customise BartPE http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ or "Ultimate Boot CD for Windows" http://www.ubcd4win.com/index.htm to have Prime95 included. Note: the BartPE website seems to be down atm. Hth, -- Boo |

It has both memtest and Prime95. memtest is available when the CD first boots. --- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Bring the Troops Home: http://bringthemhomenow.org http://antiwar.com Iraq Veterans Against the War: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

But I'm planning to overclock someone's pc on a visit out of town and it would be nice not to have to mess with the partitions. --- I basically do the same thing with my own computer. I have a 5 GB partition for Windows (XP Pro) that I back up regularly (using Acronis True Image) and always back up before doing any major overclocking. It only takes a minute or two to back up, a bit longer to restore from backup. This has the dual advantages of having the backup file fit on a DVD writable and also Windows doesn't make a big mess scattering files all over a large partition. 5 GB is quick and easy to defrag. However, it'd be nice to have a way to do a similar thing on someone else's computer without having to mess with their partition set up. Cheers, -- Shaun. |

I believe that I actually have Ultimate Boot CD burnt and stashed away somewhere (never used it, LOL). I'll have to dig it out and have a go. Cheers, -- Shaun. |
