Any Windows user has had their system crash at one point or another. Far more often that Microsoft would like to admit, a crash leads to the inability to start the computer back up. Short of reformatting your PC, a recovery disk could be the only chance of saving the data on the computer and getting back to work.

The catch is that the majority of users never make rescue discs and can’t access the commands needed to try and repair a faulty system. Kingston and Symantec have announced a new flash drive that puts software needed to try and repair a Windows PC on the flash drive.

The drive holds Symantec Recovery Disk software and allows administrators and support techs to restore individual files and folders from a Windows desktop in the event of a hardware failure. Three different capacities are available including 2GB ($19), 4GB ($36), and 8GB ($67). All three are available now.
