@IntrusionCM it's just "if your OS craps out drop this on a USB stick or DVD and test from it." It's got some funky EFI-from-MBR loader, so even if it's not supported by your board, it'll still chainload an EFI file if you boot from the MBR. It works... a surprisingly high percentage of the time, more than straight booting the 32-bit EFI files, even (as that shit's nonstandard so most boards refuse to load them or will die trying)

@IntrusionCM i usually use Hiren's, but I needed SeaTools, which isn't in HBCD PE yet

It's been ages since I needed something like that.
Everything important ? Onedrivedrive. Around 1TB.
Dev projects ? (Even small personal) ? github or Azure devops.
Programs config ? Synced to an account
Programs / games etc ? Redownload is fast with 400 mbits.
So basiclly if (or when) system craps out, just reinstall from scratch, takes about 1H and fully automated.
Well, I tested only 1 this "automated" script, for the past 5 years never needed

@NoToJavaScript yeah, but in America if you don't buy the small business packages your upload speed is typically 30Mb/s or less, and that's a lot more expensive than a few 5400RPM 4TB HDDs. Your internet may also not be 100% stable or even working, considering cities are going down as a whole right now.
Why the fuck is Seagate's official bootable HDD/SSD toolkit 32-bit??? It's bad enough that it's TinyCore, but it's 32-bit, so even while booting it tells you to fuck off if a drive has >2TB worth of LBAs, but it's meant for ALL their drives! Their Twitter support was predictably useless, too, and was just "we don't support running the bootable disc off of anything larger than 32GB" and "we don't officially support Linux formatted disks in our tools" (neither of which were even remotely close. The first one I can understand, it was an untrained knee-jerk reaction to a number they recognize, but the other one...)
