Ultimate Boot CD for Windows or UBCD4Win is a bootable recovery CD (live CD) that contains software used for repairing, restoring, and diagnosing many computer problems. It is based on BartPE.
All programs included in UBCDWin are freeware utilities for Windows. Bart's PE builds a Windows "pre-install" environment CD, which is basically like Windows booted from CD. It features network support, the ability to modify NTFS volumes, recover deleted files, create new NTFS volumes, and scan hard drives for viruses. This project includes (hopefully) nearly everything needed to repair system problems.
The UBCDWin takes some time to boot, but once it's up, the user is running an almost fully functional copy of Windows XP from the CD. This means that the usual diagnostic tools, partition management capability, etc. that are normally available in XP are available at a time while the hard drives are offline—allowing the user to run chkdsk against the C drive, for instance. There are additional tools, in particular anti-spyware and anti-virus software, which can be run against the drives while the computer's operating system is offline (and malware is therefore dormant and more vulnerable to cleaning).

For all the brave tears and ultimate spasm.
So civilized were your thin hands, I marvel
They too, like jelly fishes, came from protoplasm.”

“... until the shopkeeper plants his boot in our eyes,
and unties our bone and is finished with the case,
and turns to the next customer, forgetting our face
or how we knelt at the yellow bulb with sighs
like moth wings for a short while in a small place.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The windows were then closed and the steam turned on. There was a sign up saying that no one could smoke, but you couldn’t help it. You were lucky if you didn’t burst into flames.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
