Hello! In this video we are going to talk about a very useful tool for computer technicians and support professionals, called Medicat USB. Medicat copies to a USB stick or external hard drive, is bootable and offers a wide range of tools and applications, everything you need to diagnose hardware problems, recover data, remove malware and perform other essential maintenance tasks. What are its advantages? Provides a complete solution with a wide variety of tools and applications in a single device. Portability: Being a USB device, Medicat can be easily taken anywhere and used on multiple computers without installation. Mini Windows 10: Includes a reduced version of Windows 10 that allows you to perform specific troubleshooting tasks for those cases in which we do not have access to the computer, being able to solve the failure or, failing that, recover important information. Disadvantages: The program weighs 24 GB, therefore a pendrive of at least 32 GB is necessary, ideally 64 GB to be able to later add other ISO images of operating systems. Another disadvantage is, if you do not have a moderately fast internet connection , the program download process can take a long time. If you have a USB 2.0 or earlier memory, the copy and execution of the programs will be very slow, therefore it is better to use a USB 3.0 memory. During the installation it is necessary to temporarily disable the antivirus protection since both Windows and some antivirus programs can detect it as a possible threat, because it is not official software from a recognized company. However so far it has proven to be a safe and reliable project, I have personally been using it for several months without encountering any problems, it is still your responsibility to decide if you want to use it or not after watching this video. Let's get started! We go to the official medicatusb.com page, the first thing we see when entering are images of cats in its design, it surely reflects the personal preference of the creator, it gives it an original and somewhat funny touch, however this does not affect the seriousness or the project functionality. In documentation you can find information about its installation, tools, etc., and in portable Apps you can see all the portable tools that the application contains. We return to the main page, here it shows us a disclaimer or disclaimer, we click on installer, then on Download and you can choose the version for Windows or Linux, we are going to choose Windows. I'm going to download it to the desktop. We close the page and here we already have the installer, now it is important to deactivate the antivirus, in my case I am going to deactivate Kaspersky, then I make sure that Windows Defender, the Windows antivirus, is also deactivated. Click on the start button and write Defender. And indeed the antivirus is disabled, which automatically deactivates it so that there is no conflict, but if you do not have any antivirus installed on your PC, you must come here and deactivate the antivirus protection, otherwise Windows will eliminate or block Medicat and everything It's going to get complicated. You go to manage the settings and deactivate the first three or four options, I have them already deactivated. We close and now we go to the file explorer, we have previously inserted the pendrive or external hard drive into the USB 3.0 port of the computer. I will use a 128 GB pendrive, as I said before it can be a minimum of 32 GB, you can also use one of 64 GB or a larger capacity. We are going to right click on the drive and then select format, we label it as Medicat USB or any other name you prefer, and we perform a quick format, remember that any information we have inside this drive will be deleted. I recommend doing this to avoid confusion when choosing the unit, since there are computers that may have several disks and partitions, and if we have already placed a label or name, it is difficult for us to make a mistake. Ready to close, and close. Now we right click on the installer and run it as administrator. Here we press any key to continue, it welcomes us. Again we press a key and now in this menu we are going to choose the install Medicat option, here the download of the most updated version will begin and we are going to select our USB drive, the one I named like Medicat USB. Here it asks us to confirm that the unit is F, so we are going to verify, and indeed it is the unit with the letter F. We are going to type the F key in this case, remember that it will not always be like this, this will depend on the quantity of drives you have on your computer and the letters that Windows assigns to these drives. Here it asks us if we want to create the pendrive with the GPT partition system, this is for modern computers, if you are going to use this tool for very old computers, then choose the NO option, in my case I am going to select Yes, here it asks if you want Use the Secure Boot option, which protects the boot process of the operating system, ensuring that only trusted and digitally signed software runs, thus preventing malicious or unauthorized software from running during startup. I am going to choose YES and later we will see why I select this option. We are going to confirm the download of the files to the pendrive, Yes, and we choose the Torrent option, some people do it from the Medicat page through Google Drive, but there are six parts that you must download one by one, instead this way It is more direct, faster and reliable. The download begins and tells us that it will take 8 hours and 35 minutes. But this is going to be much less, in fact it has already dropped to one hour 30 minutes and continues to drop, we are going to speed up the video. Once the download is finished, we are going to see the content of the pendrive and we see that of the 115 gigabytes, 89 gigabytes are available, that is, 26 GB is occupied if I am not mistaken, and here we see how all the programs are in their folders. And now we have finished creating our bootable pendrive with Medicat, we are going to close it and test if it works correctly. We restart the computer and enter the BIOS by pressing the corresponding key. If you don't know how to enter the BIOS, I will leave you a video that shows how to do it. Now we go to the start or Boot options and choose the first option for the pendrive, in this case the Kingston Data traveler 3.0, press the F10 key to exit and save the changes. Here the pendrive cannot boot or start, and it is due to the Secure Boot protection. So we are going to restart the computer, we enter the BIOS again, we go to the Security option and then Secure Boot we are going to select Disable to deactivate it, we press F10 and the computer will restart saving the changes, and this time Medicat started. In this interface we first see the antivirus, data backup and recovery tools, system startup repair, diagnostic tools, partition tools, password removal tools, and Windows recovery tools. If we choose antivirus, Malwarebytes appears, it is bootable. We select it and the file upload begins. We are going to perform an analysis and speed up the video. Afterwards, the scan has found 8 threats, so we are going to eliminate them. The computer restarts and the program reloads. Now we are going to review the Backup and Recovery tools, and we find many that are very well known, Acronis, Aoemi, Easeus Data Recovery, Macrium Reflect, MiniTool Data Recovery and Norton Ghost. In Boot Repair We have several tools In diagnostic tools, we also have several and here at Live Operating System we have a very good tool which is Mini Windows 10, which we will take a look at later. Partition Tools, Aoemi Partition Assistant and Easeus Partition Master, among others. At Password Removal, we have Jairo's Lockppick, which I have never used. And finally the Windows Recovery tools, where we will find to recover Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11. Let's now go to Live Operating Systems and we will use Mini Windows 10. We wait for it to load completely, we can see that it is a fully functional Windows 10 system and that has several tools so that we can solve any failure that arises, for example, if we have a computer that does not start Windows, we can use this mini Windows to safeguard documents or important information on another unit and then try to solve the problem more calmly . Here we have portable Apps, which is a compendium of endless portable tools, it will help us solve the vast majority of problems that may arise. And as you could see, it is a tool that is worth downloading and using, although it is true that there are an infinite number of tools that you may not know how to use, you can carefully investigate and test how each one works and little by little , you will learn which one is best for you to use and which one is not. In another video I will show you how to customize this tool, we will eliminate programs that are not necessary and thus have more space on the pendrive to be able to add more ISO images from other operating systems. We go to start, Shutdown and the equipment will turn off.
