      Wouldn't a live-usb be better than having the individual tools then?

        Well - that's the thing about the Hirens - it was a toolbox. network, browser, ntpassword, teamviewer, etc... all in one 'system'..

          How about UBCD? It seems to check all the boxes.

              It has been a fair while since I have needed anything more than Parted Magic, but I've seen Gandalf's Win PE as well recommended

                Hirens has a new version updated June 2018, just used it to fix an MBR issue:

                    You want this! http://www.easy2boot.com/ and load as many different ISO as you can fit on the USB stick.

                    The tools in Hiren works the same as they are before even though a bit dated.

                    There is also Gandalf's boot disk.

                        Parted Magic has a paid for option now? Has this always been a thing that I've just completely missed?

                            Newer versions have cost $ for at least 5 years now
