Life-giving flash drive
At the moment, the network has a whole bunch of different instructions on creating an on-duty working sysadmin flash drive, but, unfortunately, many of them are already outdated and simply do not fit modern tasks.
I am not going to describe the installation process of GRUB4DOS, since this has not changed and the network is full of instructions. I’ll just say that GRUB4DOS just needs to be installed on a USB flash drive. Also, I am NOT going to upload system images here (everything is on torrents), but, nevertheless, I will lay out a full menu of LST files with a folder structure. Also note that all ISO images must be defragmented .
To test the flash drive, I use the PLOP Boot Manager and the virtual machine, for me it is the most convenient option, although there are QEMU and MobaLiveUSB.
What can our flash drive do:
1. Installing Windows XP / 7/8
2. Installing Linux Mint / Kubuntu / Ubuntu
3. Live Slax, Live XPe, SliTaz 4.0
4. Acronis Suite
5. ERD Commander 5.0-8.0
6. Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10
7. Victoria HDD
8 HDD Regenerator
9. MHDD 4.6
10. PC Check 6.05
11. SystemRescueCD
12. Active Boot Disk Suite 8
13. Active Password Changer

To install Windows-systems from an image, you need to use a script that will create an OS image adapted for installation from a USB flash drive. The link contains the script itself and instructions for its use.
As a result, we get several images of Windows that interest us, which will be launched from a flash drive.
Please note that I am using the Windows 8 Smokie build, which has a slightly different structure, so I just unzipped the image to the root of the flash drive and started the installation using “chainloader / bootmgr”. If the MSDN image is used, then for simplicity it is better to use a script.
Everything is extremely simple here. Just extract the initrd.lz and vmlinuz files from the image (we do this separately from the x64 system) and drop them into the / Boot / Linux / Distro / x86 and x64 folder. From the .lst file below, you can understand what and where to copy.
Just download the latest versions of SliTaz and Slax, and then lay them out according to the menu structure. Slax needs to be unpacked to the root of the flash drive (/ slax), SliTaz just in the way, do not forget to defragment, with PloPLinux the same as with SliTaz.
You can use regular Acronis ISOs, or you can download a thing like Acronis BootDVD Grub4Dos Edition and copy the files according to the LST structure.
Download ERD Commander in one ISO-way, defragment it and launches from menu.lst.
Unpack the root of the flash drive, instead of XXXX, write the UUID of the flash drive.
Runs from an ISO image.
Sometimes useful. Running from an ISO image. UPD The program may damage , use at your own risk.
Run from an ISO image, as above.
Download the latest version and unpack the flash drive into the root. We start.
The rest of the little thing is launched either from a floppy disk image or ISO.
Download the image from the HBCD website and unpack it to the root (/ HBCD).
As a result, we have an assortment of the most necessary programs that will help restore the computer.
Archive with the folder structure
File menu.lst, which should be replaced in the root of the flash drive.
1. ADWCleaner - removal of adware;
2. AVZ - “sniper” for viruses;
3. CCleaner, Defraggler - cleaning and defragmentation;
4. InfraRecorder - a very high-quality analogue of Nero Burning Rom;
5. KMPlayer - player;
6. Unchecky - removing checkmarks during installation;
7.DriverPack Solution - many drivers; Snappy Driver Installer - a full driver pack, more convenient than DRPSolution
8. SysinternalsSuite - an exchangeable thing, utilities for all occasions;
9. ATF-Cleaner - quick system cleaning, no installation required;
10. Dr.Web CureIT - a cure;
11. TeamViewer - deleted;
12. Updates for Dr.Web, Kaspersky, MSE, AVG and Avast;
13. LibreOffice - office suite.
It seems to me that these are exactly those things that should inhabit your working flash drive. I would like to hear your options for filling a life-giving flash drive.

Installing Windows from a USB flash drive
To install Windows-systems from an image, you need to use a script that will create an OS image adapted for installation from a USB flash drive. The link contains the script itself and instructions for its use.
As a result, we get several images of Windows that interest us, which will be launched from a flash drive.
