SystemRescue is a Linux system rescue disk available as a bootable CD-ROM or USB stick for administrating or repairing your system and data after a crash. It aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the hard disk partitions.

It comes with a lot of software such as disk management tools (parted, partimage, fsarchiver, filesystem tools, ...), network administration programs and simple text editors . It can be used for both Linux and windows computers, and on desktops as well as servers.

This rescue system requires no installation as it can be booted from a CD/DVD drive, and USB stick, or from the network using PXE. But it can be installed on the hard disk if you wish. It comes with up to date kernels to provide support for recent hardware and also for all important file systems (ext2/ext3/ext4, xfs, btrfs, ntfs, reiserfs, vfat), as well as network filesystems (samba and nfs).

  • great
  • I use it a lot. As a standalone I can use it to check setting on many of Linux machines when they act up. Necessary tool for anyone using PCs or Laptops.
  • I have been happily using systemrescue 4.08 for years I decided to upgrade and make a rescue stick with a separate partition for my own use. I am working on a Mint-20.2 system on an HP Pavilion g4 laptop. I downloaded systemrescue-9.01-amd64.iso and two hash files and a sig file from the systemrescue site. I checked the two hash numbers and the signature, all OK. I followed the directions in the "Installing systemrescue on a usb stick" page, under "Manual installation on Linux for booting in UEFI mode". The USB stick is 4G. I used gparted to create a MSDOS MBR. I created the first partition as 2G, FAT32, label=RESCUE901. I set the boot and lba flags. I created a second partition, the rest of the drive, ext4, label=RESCUEWORK. I opened systemrescue-9.01-amd64.iso using "Disk Image Mounter". I selected everything in the root directory (six directories) and dragged them into the root of the stick. I ejected the stick, then tried to boot it. The boot process hung with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner of a blank screen. By the way, I used usbimager to create the same physical USB stick and it works fine. It's a pity the IOS partition consumes all of the stick. If it left room for a second partition the problem would be solved. I thought maybe gparted could shrink the ISO partition, but it does not not me try. I am stuck at this point. Anyone now what I have to do?
  • The current 64-bit versions, 8.0x, do not fit on a CD. "It is highly recommended to use the 64bit version (amd64)", they say, but when something calls itself System Rescue *CD* it is sloppy to build an ISO that can not be used on CD. That really does not inspire confidence.

  • On board there is a browser, gparted and ... nothing. It will not even get access to the NTFS disk.
