About SystemRescueCd

Description: SystemRescueCd is a Linux system rescue disk available as a bootable CD-ROM or USB stick for administrating or repairing your system and data after a crash. It aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the hard disk partitions. It comes with a lot of Linux system utilities such as GParted, fsarchiver, filesystem tools and basic tools (editors, midnight commander, network tools). It can be used for both Linux and windows computers, and on desktops as well as servers. This rescue system requires no installation as it can be booted from a CD/DVD drive or USB stick, but it can be installed on the hard disk if you wish. The kernel supports all important file systems (ext3/ext4, xfs, btrfs, reiserfs, jfs, vfat, ntfs), as well as network filesystems such as Samba and NFS.

Project documentation

This project comes with good documentation. Here are the most important pages:

For the impatient:

• Quick start guide: please read this if this is the first time you are using this system recovery cd.

Chapters about basic usage:

Chapters about advanced usage:

System tools included

• GNU Parted: creates, resizes, moves, copies partitions, and filesystems (and more).
• GParted: GUI implementation using the GNU Parted library.
• FSArchiver: flexible archiver that can be used as both system and data recovery software
• ddrescue : Attempts to make a copy of a block device that has hardware errors, optionally filling corresponding bad spots in input with user defined pattern in the copy.
• File systems tools (for Linux and Windows filesystems): format, resize, and debug an existing partition of a hard disk
• Ntfs3g: enables read/write access to MS Windows NTFS partitions.
• Test-disk : tool to check and undelete partition, supports reiserfs, ntfs, fat32, ext3/ext4 and many others
• Memtest: to test the memory of your computer (first thing to test when you have a crash or unexpected problems)
• Rsync: very-efficient and reliable program that can be used for remote backups.
• Network tools (Samba, NFS, ping, nslookup, …): to backup your data across the network

Browse the short system tools page for more details about the most important software included.

Browse the detailed package list for a full list of the packages.

It is possible to make custom versions of the system. For example, you can add your own scripts, make an automatic restoration of the system. It is also possible to burn a custom DVD, with SystemRescueCd and 4GB for your data (backup for example). Read the manual for more details.

You can use SystemRescueCd to backup data from an unbootable Windows computer, if you want to backup the data stored on a Windows computer that cannot boot any more.

It is very easy to install SystemRescueCd on a USB stick. That is very useful in case you cannot boot from the CD drive. You just have to copy several files to the stick and run syslinux. The install process can be done from Linux or Windows. Follow instructions from the manual for more details.

Download

Download links

You can download SystemRescueCd immediately from this page. It is recommended to use the 64bit version (amd64) but a 32bit version (i686) is also available.

Other versions

You can also download previous versions, legacy versions or beta versions if you want to have more recent versions of packages or to try the latest features.

Installation on a USB stick or internal disk

It is possible to use SystemRescueCd without having a CD/DVD drive. You can install SystemRescueCd on USB sticks, or on a local disk. In any case you will need to download the ISO image from the current page.

Checking the downloaded file

To confirm that the download was successful, you should download the checksum files and then run verification commands such as the following ones:

These command will recalculate the checksum on the downloaded file, and compare it with the expected checksums. These checksum programs are part of coreutils on Linux and should be pre-installed with most distributions.

You can download sha256sum.exe for windows, and you can run the command from a cmd.exe terminal.

Checking the signature

You can also verify the signature of the ISO image using GnuPG. The signature is located in the ASC file named after the ISO image that you can get from the main download links at the top of this page. You will also need the public signing key.

Errors during the boot process

Various issues can cause SystemRescueCd to hangs or fail with unexpected errors during the boot process. Please do not report these as bugs unless you have verified the frequent causes of these issues:

• Boot medias such as CD, DVD, and USB stick are often unreliable and bad blocks will cause problems. You can try another media to see if it makes a difference, and you can enable verification when you burn/copy the ISO image to make sure data written to the device can be read and match the original.
• Damaged RAM will cause all type of programs to behave unexpectedly. Computers memory can be tested using program such as memtest which is included with SystemRescueCd.
• You will also get problems if the system runs out of memory. So make sure your computers has at least 2GB of memory if you start with the default boot options or 4GB if you cache the system into RAM.

Writing the ISO image file to a CD/DVD

On Linux you can use either command line tools such as cdrecord/wodim or graphical tools such as k3b, brasero or xfburn.

Online documentation

Reading the Quick Start Guide is recommended if it is your first time using SystemRescueCd. You may also be interested in the Complete documentation for more details.
