Tech Safety Tips

Tech Safety tips, posted on behalf of the Group 3 Information Services Officer:

Everyone who uses Windows should have an Emergency Boot Disk. One day you will need it.

Most Windows versions allow you to create one. You can visit "Help and Support" in Windows or the Microsoft Support Center http://support.microsoft.com/

Note well however, that the Emergency Disk varies for each version, and sometimes even release, of Windows, so be sure you are using the correct one.

Also, if your computer is infected with a virus or malware, the Windows disk may not be sufficient. Your antivirus or anti-malware program may help you create one a bootable disk.

Alternatively, Microsoft has a new emergency boot disk with anti-malware installed available at http://connect.microsoft.com/systemsweeper

Check System Requirements to determine if this program will run on your system.

More details on installing and running at

Geeks may be interested in alternate boot disk systems
