Have used Hirens a few times...decent swiss army knife. Gotta admit don't really use them much....when we have to work on a clients hard drive..end up slaving it to our bench rig for most stuff.

Same.. it's kinda a tool I take along but usually I end up yanking the drive and slaving it since it seems to be quicker.

PCRegedit comes in handy when working on a system rendered unbootable by malware.
