Can I get some feedback on the utility

Do any of you use it? Do you find it helpful? Does it do everything needed for recovery purposes?

Your thoughts?

[doctorgonzo]

Yes, it is very helpful and I do use it. I don't generally use it for recovery purposes, more troubleshooting. Things like hard drive diagnostics, memory diagnostics, hard drive zero fills, etc.

For recovering data from a hosed Windows install, I use Knoppix.

I use it all the time and like Dr G says harddrive diagnostics, memory diagnostics and very reliably harddrive zero fills.
I often offer customers a trade in on their old machines, working or not, the parts can be usefull and if the machine doesn't take much to repair it can find itself donated to someone who couldn't afford a machine, lets just say the zero fill from the UBCD helps me pass on a used machine knowing that I have done my best to protect the previous owners personal details.
