How does it work;
Most creation programs backup and reset require your system to boot to perform the reset. But what if you can't start Windows? What if you are infected with a virus and can not open Windows at all to restore it as it was?
Rescuezilla does not need Windows. Download and burn the ISO to a USB stick and reboot your machine. The system will load a full mini OS with a point-and-click user interface into your computer's memory without writing any information on your hard drive.
You will then be able to run backup actions, reset and recovery - guaranteed - even if you can not start your normal operating system.
