Useful Windows utilities
Here are some Windows utilities that helped me out of a bind at least once...
- ntldrismissing.com - Miles Comer's "magic" boot disk that can recover from some situations where a Windows XP machine produces the "NTLDR is missing" message, for example after defragmenting the hard disk and accidentally moving a system file to a region that the default BIOS boot loader cannot access.
- Free EaseUS partition recovery tool - helped me get back access to my data partition after a resize with Partition Magic went wrong, leaving the partition table with incorrect partition sizes...
- Vector Magic for tracing bitmap images to create vector drawings. The online serivce allows trying out as many images as you like, and lets you download two results for free before becoming paid.
