None of the above anymore. These days I use something called Active boot CD.

I like SystemRescueCD. I like working at the command line, but having the optional GUI can be handy. It has all of the Linux tools I normal use for disk recovery.

I use Backtrack most of the time - Other than that Ubuntu.

Haven't tried Parted Magic or TRK (Downloading Now - thanks for reminding me)

I'm going to expand OP's question if I may...

For those using distros what do you use to add packages/tools to your distro?

I've looked at SUSE studio and trying Reconstructor but new area for me this so wondered what others are doing.

A Distros all well and good provided its easily kept updated.

I tend to use System Rescue Cd, not only does it have a nice small Linux distro with lots of diagnostic and recovery tools but italso contains bootable floppies of things like mhdd

What I've done is made a proper easily updated virtual machine in VirtualBox (initially I was using Ubuntu MRT but have now swapped to LinuxMint) which I update and configure with the programs I want etc. and then use Remastersys to make an ISO from the vm.

Works fairly well and I also have another vm which I have configured with Skype etc. to install for customers who need Linux (constantly getting viruses or who have a bootleg of Windows etc.).

@KompuKare

What have you put for the Remastersys repository as your sources?

I like look of the program but I cannot get it to accept any repos sources for Ubuntu 11.04.

All I get is a download error files not found?

Looked around Remastersysa forum but sources seem old circa 2009/10 which is probably where my issue lies

Well I would say Backtrack, used to be Ubuntu, but Backtrack is now based on Ubuntu.

Ultimate Boot CD 5.03
DBAN 1.0.7 (Drive Nuker)

Trinity Rescue Kit
PING - Partimage Is Not Ghost
DellBiosBoot
Kon-Boot
All on one 8GB flash disk.
And various other tools like forensic tools, D7, UVK, and more.
