This rescue disc is easy to use even if you never saw a Linux operating system before.
SystemRescueCd includes:
- File system tools for creating, resizing, moving and/or copying partitions of almost any type/format

4. Knoppix
Knoppix is a complete operating system that comes as a Linux Live CD. Besides the operating system's core files, Knoppix also includes additional software which you can use to rescue your broken Windows PC.
Knoppix can be customized to include various tools that you need and, by default, it includes:
- File recovery tools for getting back all those personal files you thought lost because of a defective hard drive
