AutoBootDisk: Create Bootable USB Drives and CDs/DVDs

Open source software for creating bootable media with various operating systems, antivirus utilities, system diagnostic tools and more.

What is AutoBootDisk?

AutoBootDisk is an open-source software application used for creating bootable USB drives and CD/DVD media. It provides an easy way for users to integrate multiple operating systems, antivirus and antimalware scanners, system diagnostic utilities, data recovery tools and more into a bootable environment.

The software features an intuitive graphical user interface that allows selecting from hundreds of operating systems like Windows, Linux distros, antivirus platforms, hardware diagnostic scans and various recovery and repair tools. These can be downloaded and seamlessly integrated by AutoBootDisk into ISO / USB bootable images.

Once created, the AutoBootDisk media allows booting any PC into a fully-functional operating system or rescue environment, without the need for installation. It is useful for system administration tasks like deploying OS across multiple computers, recovering data, fixing system files, detecting and removing malware and overall maintenance work.

AutoBootDisk also offers advanced customization, multiboot capabilities and Bad Sector repair options. The tool supports bootable media creation for legacy BIOS and latest UEFI firmware PCs. It is often used by support technicians, developers, IT professionals and end-users alike for various system repair, deployment or diagnostic situations where a separate bootable platform free from host OS dependencies is required.

The software runs on Windows platforms. While being free and open source, AutoBootDisk does contain some trial restrictions requiring eventual paid upgrade for uninterrupted usage.
