Last time I met some problems with my hard drive. I found the Repair your computer
mode, you know, when you press F8 and you have admin rights, you can enter terminal with SYSTEM
rights. So I can copy all my data to USB, and be very happy... (Yay!!)
But I kept in mind, that to use it on "broken" computers, I need to install Windows (to long, useless, unavailable) or use Windows from USB (to slow, low quality, not 100% sure about working).
So I thought, maybe... there is small chance there exists Disk Operating System
with tools some basic tools such as (a)browser, (b)partition manager, (c)terminal, (d)editor
a = Not very advanced. I just need for example to download drivers from website if these on computer doesn't work, and need to be reinstalled.
b = Just basic partition manager. Same as bcdedit.exe
in Windows or atleast most same.
c = Terminal, that can move files, delete them, create them... almost like command.com
or cmd.exe
. Just to manage all crap on the disc.
d = I do not mean specific one. Just to read or edit txt, bat, ini, inf etc. files.
Oh I almost forgot! I would be really happy, if "this" would work on newest operating systems, and could work quite fast.
