A Boot disk is a removable media, normally read-only, that can boot an operating system.

Boot disks normally store any temporary files in a RAM disk, to prevent changes in the fixed media of the computer where the Boot disk is used.

Boot disks are used for:

  • Operating system installation.
  • Data recovery.
  • Troubleshooting.
