First Live Q&A

Patreon supporters can come and participate in my development of the next version of the All in One – System Rescue Toolkit and ask questions about the toolkit itself or anything related to my 20 years of IT experience.

Live Stream Scheduled: Monday 01 May 2023 @ 17:00 Mountain Time

New Patreon!

I thank you all for your interest and continued use of my free toolkit over the years. I know it has become stale, and honestly the amount of support that I receive for the toolkit is currently quite limited.

I have a new version that is mostly completed, but it has taken a back seat to other things. I started up a Patreon to see if there are those of you in the community that are benefiting from the toolkit that may want to show a little love back to the project.

I haven’t given up on development and improvements, but with enough support I can put more energy into the toolkit. Also exclusive to Patreon supporters are Discord benefits and even live Q&A sessions, one to one toolkit and technical support consultation, and more!

I look forward to keeping this project alive for as long as possible. Have a great day!

USB Flash booting and MBR vs GPT

I have had a few people contact me with issues regarding building All in One – System Rescue Toolkit flash drives over the last few years. Yesterday, I was messing around with a MacBook at work, and recently I found out the following:

  • FAT32, required for EFI booting, has a 32 GB limit when formatting flash drives using Windows.
  • If you re-use flash drives for multiple purposes, your flash drive may be left formatted with GPT partition scheme. You will need to use diskpart or similar utility to format to MBR for EFI booting of my toolkit.
  • The official toolkit USBs are built using new flash drives < 32 GB. Most manufacturer’s have been providing MBR partition scheme USB drives.

If you’ve had trouble building flash drives with older versions of my toolkit, this should help. I will look into workarounds in the upcoming versions.

Internet/ISP Maintenance

Hey Folks,

My ISP is having some backbone maintenance done this week.  It may be a rocky road trying to get access to my site until next week.

New CD Printer

When I first started out with this project, I bought a bunch of Lightscribe discs to supply folks that ordered a disc from me.  At the time, I didn’t have a way to print direct to discs other than Lightscribe.  By the way, if you ever plan on printing disc labels, use direct print to disc such as Lightscribe or a CD printer, not sticky labels.

Custom Branded All in One – System Rescue Toolkit?

I have had several requests over the years and have recently been toying with the idea to offer a branded version of the toolkit at a premium price.  Some tech shops out there want to display their own logos and branding on software they use.  The desktop link that drops to the desktop could drop a company’s website link instead of my website link, for example.
