These are examples to give you a sense of what's out there. I have NOT created a comprehensive list of available products, nor is it my intention to endorse any particular products or services. Some are general computer utilities that can be used for many different purposes. Many other tools on the list were created for purposes such as forensic analysis after a security incident. However, many of the needs of recovering and describing properties of digital objects are the same and can benefit from use of these tools.
Boot Loaders and Boot Managers
These are small programs that run shortly after the computer is first powered on and determine what operating system will be loaded into memory. Boot loaders can be used to boot the same computer into several different operating systems, as well as booting into an operating system that is not the one normally used on the computer (e.g. booting into Linux to then examine or obtain data from a computer that normally runs under Windows).
