Active@ Boot Disk is a comprehensive bootable rescue environment and suite of data recovery, disk management, and system repair utilities created by LSoft Technologies, enabling users to access and fix non-bootable PCs, recover lost data from corrupted drives, create secure backups, erase data beyond recovery, reset Windows passwords, and perform low-level disk diagnostics all from a single CD/DVD, USB flash drive, or ISO image without requiring the host operating system to load.

This standalone, self-contained toolkit—booting into a Windows PE or Linux-based environment—provides full read/write access to all storage devices including HDDs, SSDs, RAID arrays, USB drives, SD cards, and network shares, supporting a wide range of file systems (NTFS, FAT32/exFAT, ext2/3/4, HFS+/APFS, ReFS, BTRFS) and partitioning schemes (MBR/GPT), making it indispensable for IT professionals, system administrators, forensic investigators, and home users facing crashes, viruses, forgotten passwords, or accidental deletions.

With multi-boot support, customizable creator tools for adding drivers/scripts/languages, and embedded applications like Active@ File Recovery, Disk Image, KillDisk, Partition Recovery, Password Changer, and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring, Active@ Boot Disk delivers enterprise-level capabilities in a portable package that boots on BIOS/UEFI systems, runs command-line tasks, and even sends email notifications from the rescue environment.

The software’s strength lies in its versatility as both a ready-to-use boot media and a customizable toolkit: generate ISO/CD/USB via the Creator wizard (select edition, burn speed, UDF/ISO9660, verification), insert into target PC, boot (F12 menu/BIOS order), and access a familiar desktop with Start menu, taskbar, explorer, and context menus mimicking Windows for immediate productivity without steep learning curves.
