Hi all
I'm looking for a good boot CD that contains tools to do the following:
* Identify components installed in a computer, including specs
* Test memory
* Wipe and test hard drives
* Test optical drives and floppy drives
* Stress test processor and motherboard
We intend to use this CD at FreeGeek Columbus
(http://freegeekcolumbus.org) to test components before assembling
them into working systems. I'm currently looking at the Ultimate Boot
CD (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/), however there are a lot of
proprietary and shareware tools that we don't really need. Does anyone
know of a boot CD that would satisfy these requirements but is better
and (preferably) entirely free?
Thanks!
Adam
