Boot discs, utilities, tools, etc. for computers, server, & network troubleshooting & diagnosis
I'm looking for a list of websites or boot CD/DVD titles that I can download that will test Windows computer desktop & server hardware, operating systems, networks, drives, etc. and that will help me properly diagnose and perform troubleshooting to fix computer problems.
Please provide me with w a list of such websites or the names of boot DVD's/CD's, Ultimate Boot Compact Discs (UBCDs), utilities, troubleshooting/diagnosis software, etc.
I'm looking to increase the number of troubleshooting tools, utilities, boot discs, etc. that will help me as a computer repair tech and network engineer.
My employees and I will then evaluate these software, tools, utilities, boot discs, etc. so that we will have more tools available to help us do our jobs better.
I also need to be able to provide this info to other IT companies and departments where I have been hired as a trainer to help better prepare their IT techs and engineers.
Even if some of these boot discs essentially contain the same software as described within other responses to this question, please list any and every website, boot disc, utility, etc.
If some of software or tools can only be purchased or evaluated for a limited time period, please also list these so that I can purchase them in order to fully evaluate them. I'm interested in all of them!

I'm just looking to get as many tools as possible.
I don't care if some of these other discs, boot discs or utilities are pretty much or exactly the same as the others.
Please keep on updating this posting!
