Did you know about this cool USB bootable toolset? 👀
Visual Studio Subscription Programs List: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vis...
This video shows the super exclusive Diagnostic and Recovery Toolset bootable tools created by Microsoft. It is normally only available to certain Microsoft volume license customers, but I was able to get my hands on it. I go over what it is like to create the image, as well as the tools themselves.

Several people have asked what the point of the video is, if most people can't use it. 1. It's just to show you a cool thing. And like I said, it's not necessary anyway, as there are plenty of bootable tools that do the same thing. 2. I should mention if you work at a company that has volume licensing or Visual Studio subscription, you might be able to ask your IT guy if they actually do have access to it and are willing to give it to you. 3. Apparently there are older versions of DaRT available if you Google for it, but they are not official sites or from Microsoft, so do so at your own risk.

Microsoft didn't make this toolset. They bought out a company that made all these tools many years ago, and have made minor changes to make things compatible with the latest versions of Windows. That explains why the search works - because Microsoft didn't make it.

In Windows NT drivers function as Kernel Mode services which is why drivers and services are so similar here. Usually only a driver writer would need to alter the service parameters of a driver and they do that in the driver inf or just by editing the registry so in a normally working system there is no need for the drivers management console.

@I.____.....__...__ Жыл бұрын

Autoruns also has a list of drivers, so you don't need the MMC snap-in for that either.

not too impressed at first. But if your computer wont boot, or it is just to awkward to switch back and forth between the recovery environment and windows, it could save some time. And being able to include your own programs or scripts that would be useful to be able to run in the recovery environment could be pretty cool.

It's also worth noting that the newest version of MDOP is from 2015 and its extended support is ending on April 14, 2026. So it's likely that Microsoft discontinued it.

one of the things i need to remember for specifically my pc (which has bitlocker or veracrypt system partition encrypted) is that when i reboot and it doesn't find the OS, I have to use a program to reset the bootloader. I use the one that macrium reflect offers - iirc they recently said the free version is no longer going to be updated so i don't know if they will mess up my free install - which resets the bootloader and allows me to reimage the boot drive and start over The other is you glossed over that the US department of defense advocates for a 4 pass wipe on a hard drive. is that *really* necessary? I feel like a single pass of random data is sufficient, and personally what I do is delete everything in the drive, then do a full disk encryption (not quick format) with a ridiculously long password. Then I just recycle the hard drives. I don't see the point of having the drive written over 4x times. the basics of the 2nd paragraph have been covered by a previous video " What Does Formatting Actually Do, Anyway? "

@StolenJoker84 Жыл бұрын

The reason for doing multiple passes for a drive is because data can still be recovered via software. Using recovery software, I’ve personally been able to recover data from drives that amount to more total data than the drives capacity. More passes makes it harder for data to be recovered.
