Despite the best care and maintenance, modern computers still have the potential to go from a high-powered gaming computer to a non-booting pile of scrap. In these situations it is very helpful to possess a boot disk to allow access to your computer to run diagnostic tools and recover lost information. With traditional floppy disk drives no longer even installed on most new computers and CDs being all too fragile and prone to scratching, creating boot disks that run off of memory cards and flash drives is a great alternative. These drives are small enough to be hidden away almost anywhere and durable enough to be kept on a keychain if desired.
