Today, Brian asks:
Matt, been really likely what I see with the bootable USB keys, but I need something for Windows that can provide me with a toolkit of fixes when a PC goes south. Do you have any suggestions?
Well Brian, the one thing that comes to my mind is the Ultimate Boot CD, on a USB key. A complete how-to is provided here by Dave Drager at makeuseot.com.
And according to his instructions, you will basically download the CD ISO image, download and run an assigned executable, and follow the rest of his instructions. When you are done, you will have a ready to go, USB key that will be their to present you with all of the fantastic options that the Ultimate CD would otherwise provide, assuming the machine can boot off of USB of course. Otherwise, you will want to keep a copy of the Ultimate Boot CD handy as well.
Do you have an IT-related question? Perhaps you are just burnt out on writing on the walls with crayons? Whatever the comments may be, drop me a line, and you too can “Just Ask Matt!” Please address comments to the comments section above, my email address is for questions - thanks!

Simply rename the drive in Manage >> Disk Management
to correspond to the accepted drive letter.
