c’t Notfall-Windows 2011

ctDie bisher vorgestellten Live-CDs basierten entweder auf einer Windows PE Umgebung mit umfangreicher Toolsammlung oder auf einem Linux-basierten Virenscannerprodukt. In der ct 2011 Heft 17 wird nun eine Kombination aus beiden Umgebungen möglich. Im ersten Winbuilder-Projekt (CC7PE2011) wird eine Windows PE 3.0 basierte iso-Datei erzeugt, die in einem zweiten Multiboot-Projekt (CCMultiboot2011) mit anderen Live-CDs integriert wird. Das Ergebnis der Mulitboot-Umgebung (Grub4DOS 0.4.5b) kann auf einem USB-Stick abgelegt werden, der sowohl eine Windows PE 3.0 Umgebung mit zahlreichen Windows-Tools als auch mehrere Virenscanner-Live-CDs beinhaltet.

Als Datenquelle für das erste Windows PE Projekt kann wie bei den zuvor vorgestellten Winbuilder-Installationen die Setup- bzw. Installations-DVD von Windows 7 (Starter, Home Premium, Prof., etc.) verwendet werden. Alternativ kann eine 90-Tage Testversion von Windows7 bei Microsoft heruntergeladen werden. Auf dem Begleitdatenträger der ct 2011 Heft 17 befindet sich eine vorbereitete Winbuilder-Umgebung, die in das Verzeichnis „c:\ctNotPE2011“ zu entpacken ist. Wenn Sie den Winbuilder gestartet haben geben Sie zuerst als Datenquelle die Windows7-Setup-DVD an (analog den zuvor hier im Blog besprochenen Winbuilder-Installationen). Wenn Sie zunächst keine virtuelle Umgebung erstellen wollen, entfernen Sie unter „VirtualTest/Best Emulation“ das Häkchen. Damit ist das erste Projekt fertig für die Erstellung, die Sie oben rechts mit der Play-Taste starten können. Als Ergebnis bekommen Sie im Unterordner „Projekte/iso“ eine bootbare iso-Datei generiert, die auf eine CD gebrannt werden kann (alternativ über „CC7PE2011\Finalize\Create ISO/CD“ und „Burn current ISO“).

Richtig gut wird die Notfall-Umgebung durch Kombination mit weiteren Live-CDs. Eine solche Multiboot-Umgebung kann mit dem zweiten Projekt „CCMultiboot2011“ erstellt werden. Die Live-CDs von Parted Magic 6.2, Memtest 86+, AVG Rescue CD, Avira AntiVir Rescue System, Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10, Panda SafeCD und der zuvor erstellten Windows PE-Umgebung sind im ct-Paket schon integriert. Kostenlos ergänzen können Sie die Live-CD-Pakete von Bitdefender Rescue CD, Dr. Web, F-Secure Rescue CD, Microsoft System Sweeper und die Windows XP Recovery Console. Die erforderlichen Downloads können über den Projektbaum der Winbuilder-Umgebung vorgenommen werden. Automatisch integriert ist das iso-File des ersten CC7PE2011-Projektes, falls es zuvor mit dem Play-Button erstellt wurde. Im Zweig „Finalize“ der Baumstruktur des Multiboot-Projektes kann schließlich das Ausgabemedium gewählt werden. Mit Auswahl „Create USB drive from target folder“ wird die Multiboot-Umgebung auf einem USB-Stick erstellt, der bootfähig generiert wird.

In die Multiboot-Umgebung kann auch die Hiren’s CD 13.2 integriert werden. Dazu ist in der Multiboot-Struktur unterhalb von „%files%\hiren“ das heruntergeladene zip-File zu entpacken. Hiren’s CD 14.0 funktioniert hier nicht, da ein anderer Bootloader zum Einsatz kommt. Schließlich ist auch die Knoppix-CD in die Multiboot-Umgebung integrierbar. Dazu sind nur die beiden Ordner „boot“ und „KNOPPIX“ von der Knoppix-Boot-CD in die entspr. Dateistruktur nach „%files%\knoppix\“ zu kopieren.

Im Gegensatz zu den zuvor vorgestellten Winbuilder-Paketen funktioniert bei diesem ct-Paket (CC7PE2011) keine WLAN-Unterstützung in der Notfall-Umgebung, selbst wenn man versucht den passenden WLAN-Treiber nachzuinstallieren.

Für den Einsatz der Windows XP Recovery Console in der Multiboot-Umgebung ist das Häkchen bei Catch22fix nicht zu setzen, da sonst ein Fehler beim Build auftritt. Die erforderlichen Dateien für die Recovery Console werden automatisch mit dem Build (Play-Taste) heruntergeladen.

Auf meinem Core i3 Notebook habe ich weiterhin einige Probleme mit den Live-CDs: Bei der Kaspersky CD wird die Maus nicht erkannt, die Avira CD, Dr. Web CD und F-Secure CD zeigen kein Bild, Parted Magic 6.2 und AVG bieten keine WLAN-Unterstützung zum Update der Virensignaturen, etc.

Hiren’s Boot CD

Hiren’s Boot CD 15.1 ist eine fertig installierte Windows-basierte Live-CD, die ähnlich wie die zuvor vorgestellten Ultimate Boot-CDs zahlreiche Diagnose- und Analyse-Tool auf Windows-Basis enthält. Die sehr umfangreiche Live-CD (ca. 500 MB) basiert ebenfalls auf XP-Windows PE (Preinstalled Environment, grub4dos 0.4.5b) und beinhaltet Benchmark-Tools, Imaging-Tools, BIOS-Tools, Kennwort-Tools und vieles mehr. Die sehr unfangreiche Liste der SW-Produkte finden Sie hier. Die Live-CD bietet eine gute HW-Unterstützung, da z.B. mein Core i3 Notebook mit einer 800*600 Auflösung startet und das WLAN-Modul erkannt wird.

Die Nutzung der Windows-Umgebung (Start Mini XP) in der Live-CD ist allerdings illegal, da es dafür keine Erlaubnis von Microsoft gibt. Auch einige Tools der CD lassen sich gesetzwidrig einsetzen.
