    Hello, I used to use "Hirens boot cd" with a number of useful repair programs under traditional bios. Do you know any tool that works similarly, but under new UEFI bios and GPT disks (in case something goes wrong)? Because from what I can see, Hirens do not go under UEFI.

    aha and as iso it indicates e.g. hirens or some other tool in iso format, e.g. seatools? There is only a problem, because Rufus crashes the message that iso hirens is not EFI and the mbr partitioning scheme for uefi computers cannot be used: "when using the uefi mode system only bootable iso efi images are supported; please select a bootable ios efi image or set the target system on DOS.

    In the link the idea is to make windows 7 bootable. Hirens will not work because it works on the basis of XP which will not support GPT.

    and what will be good instead of hirens, because with bootable windows under the uefi, it probably won't roll too much with serious faults

    You can always use this windows 7 to boot your computer and see files on GPT partitions, then put a disc / pendrive with good Hirens and you work ;)

    I created such a bootable flash drive in windows; I have a question because he starts the installation and is it "such a real installation" as from cd to hdd or virtual to ram while using pen? because, for example, formerly under dosem there were pretend windows from hirens :-)

    Regarding this sentence:
    Quote:
    This may require you to work with UEFI and legacy settings to get it to boot.

    This just means something else:
    Quote:
    This may require changing UEFI and Legacy settings to start booting.
