Computer repair software

Winternals Software, a provider of Microsoft systems recovery and data protection solutions, has announced the release of Administrator's Pak 5.0, a suite of Winternals' ten most popular system repair, data recovery, and troubleshooting products for Windows NT/ 2000/XP/Server 2003. The Administrator's Pak provides full access to a damaged or unbootable system from a familiar Windows-like environment, and supplies the tools needed to quickly diagnose and repair system failures.

"The Administrator's Pak continues to be one of the most popular resources for administrators charged with maintaining Windows systems," said Edwin Brasch, president and CEO of Winternals. "Its ability to quickly access and repair the damage that originally caused a system conflict, rather than resorting to an extended reinstallation process, brings unique functionality to the Windows repair and recovery market."

The Administrator's Pak is an alternate solution to re-imaging or reinstalling the operating system and applications on unbootable Windows servers or workstations. By providing access to the specific drivers, settings, and files that prevent a Windows machine from booting, this product suite can be used to repair a system in minutes, thereby avoiding the extended downtime and data loss often associated with prolonged and error-prone reinstallation tasks. Additionally, real-time monitoring and troubleshooting tools bundled in the Administrator's Pak help IT staff diagnose the root cause of the problem, to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

"As a long-time user of the Administrator's Pak, I know that these tools will avert the need to resort to a time consuming reinstall," said Sharon Leibel, Head of Networking and Computing Infrastructure at NUR Macroprinters. "This product has proven to be an indispensable component of our Windows systems administration strategy."

The Administrator's Pak consists of ten separate tools available on one CD: ERD Commander 2005, NTFSDOS Professional, Remote Recover, FileRestore, Filemon Enterprise Edition, Regmon Enterprise Edition, TCP Tools, and--new for version 5.0--Insight for Active Directory, AD Explorer, and Crash Analyzer Wizard.
