Version: UBCD4Win 3.12
"Invaluable MUST HAVE O.S recovery suite!"
Pros: There are soi many good things to say about this software. As others have said here, the program helps you to build a custom version of your windows XP with your original CD files and together with those, it creates a whole new bootable disc with lots of VERY useful tools and utilities that are amongst the best available for data recovery, hard disk diagnostics and recovery, system fixes for windows, virus removal, you can do so many things with the environment that the bootable disc gives you.
It is like this.
Once you create the new bootable disc you no longer need the program.
then...one fine day when you are using your PC...something happens. /It is a bad thing that happens.
Oh NO!" I can no longer even get into windows.
(could be the hard drive has died or could be some nefarious malware causing a low level driver issue preventing windows from booting..either way you are stuffed right?!
WRONG!
Place the bootable Disc in the drive. Restart the PC.
you will then be booted into what appears to be the usual Windows environment complete with a desktop and all the usual things like normal use of the mouse and drag n drop functionality etc etc etc.
now in the start menu you will discover a load of recovery and security programs. If you have the ability you can now start to try and diagnose the problem. If not you can at least now have the ability to browse to your usual folders and then copy and burn (it has a couple of cd burning programs built in too!) all of your precious data to disc. Or you could even just copy or move the data you do not want to lose to another Hard Drive if you have one.
the point is, it gives you another chance to access windows and either fix the problem or recover what you can before deciding you would then be going on to reinstall XP.
What a great tool.
the guy that created this should be given an award of some kind!!
Cons: I don't like the fact that I didn't think of it myself :P

"Fraught with issues - There must be a better way to do this"
Pros: It probably does its job well
Cons: Language it uses takes some getting used to, Had to be downloaded twice to install and the second time came with a low level virus (thanks download.com).
User guide did no help much in setting up.]
