“I’ve spoken in the past about how even the most ardent Windows
technician really needs to have a Linux Live CD in their toolkit.
The reasons don’t stop coming.“Just today a user reported laptop problems. They booted
normally, got to the login screen, entered their credentials, and
then a blue screen crash.“Attempts to reboot all met with a message that the computer
could not boot. Windows kindly offered to attempt a repair but
after chugging away for a while reported it could not resolve the
issue. Neither safe mode nor “last known good” startup options got
any further.”
