USB flash drive emergency drive 1.0Beta full evaluation

In January 29, 2013, security guard posted a message on its official microblog about  emergency drive 1.0Beta, attracting thousands of forwards instantly.

According to reports, the  emergency drive is a portable operating system that can be created in less than MB of U disk space. When the system crashes and cannot be started, the  first-aid disk can help you rescue files, store important data, restore operations before the crash, and even perform the ultimate system repair-system reinstallation!

Next, we will make a complete usage evaluation for this product.

On the  Forum, find the download link for the software:

Http://down.safe.com/udisk_1.0.0.2001.exe

Download is an online installation program of 1.82M size.

The official statement states that the current emergency drive can be made on all Windows platforms, while the emergency drive itself is a small desktop operating system, so there is no compatibility with any system. However, the USB flash drive of the above integrated  system reinstallation master can only be reinstalled on Windows XP. For a more complete test, I found an old machine with Windows XP operating system.

After opening the interface, the style is simple and easy to use. It looks very comfortable. After opening the interface, the software interface is as follows:


I inserted a USB flash drive that I usually use. After selecting the next step, I was prompted to download the USB flash drive core and the reinstallation master. The two files would need to be downloaded 144 MB in total, and the entire download process was very fast. It takes less than five minutes to get the 4 mbps bandwidth.


Before writing data, a message is prompted to back up the data. There is nothing that is too important on the author's USB flash drive, so there is no backup. click Next.


Then, the system prompts that the production is complete.


The entire process was smooth and the interface was simple and clear. There are not many headaches, which should be a good news for small-and-white users. Compared with computer stores, cabbage, and other commonly used PE-optimized disk production, there are not so many professional options, which sometimes make the author feel hesitant.

It seems that the experience of the  First Aid disk is good, and it is a good news for users with select phobia.

After creating a USB flash drive, I opened the USB flash drive and saw several hidden files and a DISK hidden directory in the root directory of the USB flash drive.

The original data on the USB flash disk is not lost or damaged. It seems that the backup prompt before writing is just in case.

Compared with other similar products, this is also an innovation, and it is quite troublesome to dump data before starting a USB flash disk.

 unlike other tools, the First Aid disk requires some tools to be called for formatting, which is very satisfactory to the author.

After creating a USB flash drive, I shut down my computer and started the USB flash drive. On the boot page, a  emergency disk is displayed. For example:


It took 35 seconds to start the system, and it usually took 2 to 3 minutes to start other USB flash drives on the author's machine. The startup speed is very fast.

The desktop style is very gorgeous, and the icons are somewhat IOS-like.

The whole looks very comfortable, and it also recognizes all the partitions on the author's hard disk and creates shortcuts on the desktop.

After the boot is complete, my computer, broadband connection, notepad, recycle bin, command line, browser, Web wizard, mini games, and system reinstallation will be available in addition to the partition drive letter on the hard disk on the desktop, user Data shortcuts.


The display on my computer is similar to that on Windows.

This is a practical function. When the system crashes, no data is more important.


Broadband connection is a simple interface.


I am using a router to access the Internet, so I don't need it, but I was surprised to find that the First Aid disk system is automatically connected to the network.

Compared with PE products, this is a major improvement. When I was a rookie, it was very troublesome to use PE products to access the Internet, because the NIC often cannot drive.


The notepad on the desktop allows the author to find that the system still has a Chinese input method. Press CTRL + SPACE to switch. The first aid disk system is integrated with a Chinese Pinyin input method.


Next, the author was shocked by the fact that  proposed a browser supporting flash in its release statement.

This is equivalent to watching videos and chatting with WEBQQ, which is not supported by other similar products. Currently, LiveCD does not support Flash.

The browser's support for flash is not bad. I tried to open a video on Youku and play it smoothly.


The games on the desktop are also linked to the games, which are all flash games.

User Data is linked to the user data directory under the user's windows partition, which is very considerate.

I want to take screenshots of the above images before reinstalling them. Unfortunately, after pressing the prtsc screenshot key, I did not respond. Later, when I opened the USB flash drive again, I found an additional screenshot image file on the USB flash drive. The previous hard-to-use pictures taken by the camera are no longer needed, and the author again enters the system to take screenshots of these interfaces.

This is a little bit of dissatisfaction for the author. If you have a screenshot function, you can say that, although you have done it with sincerity, you still want to tell me that you have it, you don't know how I know you have it ~~~~~~~

After talking nonsense, start testing the  system to reinstall the USB flash drive. I have backed up GHOST before reinstalling it.

The main interface is simple and clear, and there is only one big button.


Click "Start reinstallation" and select the system to be reinstalled. Currently, only XP is supported. From this selection box,  has reserved an entry for reinstalling the dual system and Windows 7.

Click "Next" and the entire process starts.


It takes only five minutes from the beginning to the end, and there is a short lag in the middle.

However, if you have no patience to reload the system, many of your friends may have to wait until it is half done. The consequences are disastrous.


In the subsequent phase, the system restarted three times without user intervention. The time is about 10 minutes. You can have a cup of coffee.

This interface is displayed after the reinstallation, which is very clean. The driver has been restored.


The entire experience process is smooth and there is no extra things to think about. Apart from using a USB flash drive to boot the computer, other operations are very smooth. Compared with some PE tools, this is a huge improvement.

After the test, I wanted to restore the system and suddenly remembered that the release statement could support most PE tools.

After finding a GHOST and putting it in, the GHOST runs after the two boxes are popped up. In addition, my image is restored normally. In general, the Use experience of the  emergency drive is quite good, but currently only supports Windows XP Reinstallation, hoping to improve as soon as possible for more users to use
