MediCat USB is made with modern 64-bit computers in mind.Ĭan I run the PortableApps on my current PC without booting up MediCat?' So I did what I could to spruce things up. I didn't want it to come across as too technical-looking, or confusing. I wanted something elegant, but not too distracting.

My overall goal of this project is to continue where Hiren's Boot CD/DVD left off in 2012 Provide a simplified menu system that's completely overloaded with useful PC tools, be easy to navigate, and remain aesthetically pleasing to technicians. Now the project has outgrown DVD-R media, and is known as MediCat USB. I had a stable home and job so I figured, 'why not?'. The first public release wasn't until February 2nd, 2014. I kept working on it and kept it updated whenever I needed to, but never thought about releasing it. So I created a bootable ISO called MediCat DVD in early 2012. So I made a bootable DVD variety, for those finicky computers that refuse to (or can't) boot from USB. Sometimes the BIOS just doesn't support bootable USB sticks for whatever reason, even when set to Legacy Boot in the BIOS settings. However, some older hardware (and picky computers) wouldn't boot from them, rendering them useless. That got me making multiboot USB sticks, and all was great.

Until I found YUMI, which allowed me to customize my own. As a seasoned PC Technician (A+ Certified by CompTIA) in the field for 16 years, I could never find a software toolbox that could fit my personal needs.

I run a PC repair service out of my home called Reset Computers.
