SystemRescueCd is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM for repairing your system and your data after a crash.It also aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the partitions of the hard disk.
It contains many of system utilities (parted, partimage, fstools, ...) and basic ones (editors, Midnight Commander, network tools).
It aims to be very easy to use: just boot from the CD-ROM, and you can do everything. The kernel of the system supports most important file systems (ext2/ext3, ReiserFS, XFS, JFS, VFAT, NTFS, ISO9660), and network ones (Samba and NFS). SystemRescueCd is based on the Gentoo Live CD.

Burning DVDs and system backup
The CD can also boot from a customized DVD which has almost 4.6 GB of free space for backed-up files. This makes it good for storing all the information that is needed from a hard drive and then formatting it. To burn the DVD, one has to burn the image file first and then add all the separate files as well as folders. This should not affect the general way in which the DVD works. Then the DVD can be used to insert those files into the hard drive using Midnight Commande.
