Your “post audio” is perfect. I spent my entire life on the radio so take it for me, your good !!!
Great video really appreciate your channel I am now currently a new subscriber.
Wow! Thank you, Keith. That is a heck of a comment coming from someone like you. I really appreciate it. Thanks for the support!
@@theit-unicorn1873 Absolutely Damian !! Most people, they’re either mumbling or going to fast. However, more importantly great content in your videos. Great up the great work man 👍
It's impressive, thank you! I would also be happy to see there SEDUtil (Self Encrypting Drive Utility which provides Pre-Boot NVME TCG OPAL 2.0 Locking and Unlocking for Windows 10)
In the windows mini there are a TON more tools in the start menu I didn’t realize thi myself until I got bored one day and started looking thru all the features of everything. Give it a look at maybe in another video
I have played around a little bit with the mini W10. There really are a lot of tools in there. I might have to do a separate video to cover some of these. Did you find of in particular of interest?
This is a great video I am going to need this for sure!! Keep up the good work Damien!! Never knew about this tool.
Thanks Chris! Yes, this is a solid suite of utilities.
really cool with nice tools.
thanks
Wow. Just wow
Just discovered medicat from you, thank you it-unicorn!
That's awesome! Thanks so much for dropping a comment!
I watched your video on making this tool and now am watching the description of what is has to offer and I find you very informative and not going so fast as some do easy to follow - well made video. Having said that there are a few software's that I have had trouble with in the past ie SuperAntiSpyware and McAfee products but I guess one just leaves those alone as there are other comparable software's eh? Personally I am interested in the recovery and scan tools.
Yes mate I have subscribed to your channel because it presented your videos very clearly and in a speed that I could follow - not something that some do making it almost impossible to do what they are describing.😄
@@johngoard8272 That's awesome John! That's my goal, to provide information and entertainment in a way that is consumable by the community. I'm so glad you've found some value in my content. I hope to chat with you again in the future. Regarding the software, I totally agree; if you have trouble with a few of the apps, just pick a different one. With the vast selection available, there's no sense in beating our heads against the wall with one or two that are causing issues 🙂. Thanks again for sharing your positive feedback with me!
@@theit-unicorn1873 Yes amte as I said your presentation of this tool was the best I have seen yet and why I subbed to your channel - keep up the good work mate from down under Australia)😃
Thank you.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my video.
cool!
Making tools like this easily and safely usable for the average user is needed. For a future videos, you might consider tutorials on some of the more important tools on the medicat.
Thanks for your input. There are a lot of tools in this suite. Anything specific that you would like to see me cover?
Oh and i noticed you are close to 1,000 subs
Getting there, bro.
very cool
nice thks alot
Of course. Thank you for checking it out! I really appreciate your support. If you haven't seen my Ultimate USB video, check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks!
Oh and the voiceover sounded good
Nice, thanks for confirming!
Very cool, what's your music background, i love it :)
Thanks! I believe it's a Russian spin on the Tetris theme. 🙂
Awsome. Information. Thanks mate
Thank you for checking out my video.

HOw often do you have to update all these utilities?
Good vid I should mention that you don’t need to boot into mini win 10 to take advantage of the AV that’s installed. I had a pretty good time with a clients pc just plugged drive in started the application called “start” and was able to run super malware Hunter straight from their desktop
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing the tip!
There are elements to the target operating system that need to be included in virus/trojan/malware search & removal operations such as the windows registry for the users as well as the computer. For this reason executable programs should only be run when the currently running operating system is the target (ideally in safe mode with all unnecessary start-up and in some cases non-essential/irrelevant drivers disabled to give it the best chance of being clean) and recovery/boot images used when you want an ultimate clean boot to work on a target operating system. Knowing the limitations and capability of both methods are product specific and should be familiar before proceeding. I am currently looking at the commercial comodo as the director claims it sandboxes every executable it doesn't know about and keeps a separate versions of the files created/modified/deleted until the executable is confirmed legitimate.
@@deadlymarsupial1236 Let us know what you find out with Comodo. Sandboxing is very important now days, given all of the zero day stuff out there. Traditional def based detection is becoming a thing of the past, at least as a stand alone. Behavior based detection and many other detections are now a must. Thanks for dropping by!
can u add programs on the live boot mini 10?
@@devilscut7564 it is possible to create/modify winPE images, but that would be another series of videos. Is that something you are interested in?
Great video
Thank you! I really appreciate that. Thanks for checking it out.
Also you can add install or live ISOs if yor USB is 64Gb instead of 32Gb.
I think you should check out my Ultimate USB video. Here I build a custom USB that has Medicat plus 45 other images, including live ISOs. Thanks!
Just build your own with PhoenixPE and Ventoy like me :)
Medicat Trojans for life :D
PheonixPE sounds interesting. Do you have a video or anything you can share with us? Medicat Trojans? You injecting something or did you get a bad download link? ;-)
No problem, I am on Linux!!
What distro are you rocking?
for that menu, you dont need to boot into the mini windows 10.... you could use that menu from the device OS itself
That's definitely good to know. Just drill into the usb FS of the Win10 dir, I assume. Thanks!
Spinrite is for when the heads of a hard disk drive gets misaligned with the tracks on the disks. Basically, the closest anyone, outside of a factory, will come to low-level formatting a HDD. Due to the advancements in the reliability of HDD's, I'm surprised Spinrite is still around!
Thanks for the detailed information!
@@theit-unicorn1873 Had it in my tool kit, back in the day (90's). Never needed it, though.
Interesting facts on formatting disks: Formatting a disk requires three steps: low-level formatting, which establishes the tracks, sectors, etc.; partitioning; and high-level formatting. Formatting a floppy disk does all three steps, while you can only do a high-level format to each hard disk partition, and only after a partition table is created with a separate utility. Yes, even a floppy disk has a partition table.
On the low-level formatting of floppies: there were schemes to pack more data onto the diskettes, and they started with the track layouts.
@JV-pu8kx one of many tools accumulated over the years, I assume.
Recent memtest86+ releases can be booted via UEFI.
That's awesome, thanks!
Strelec for the win
Thanks for checking out the video. Sterelec is another great tool. I think you might enjoy my Ultimate USB video where I show you how to include as many different utilities as you want all on one USB.
can this be use in unlocking a lock edu enterprise Hp chromebook? thanks for whoever can answer my question.
When you say locked, at what level exactly are you locked out?
@@theit-unicorn1873 actually it's a school owned and controlled HP Chromebook it's write protect and no wp screw in it..
Hi,
Does the medicat break through blue screen BitLocker recovery key. My screen went blue last week and I'm not a technical guy
I was not able to find the recovery key in ms.
Can u help
Unfortunately, this tool will not bypass Bitlocker encryption. You will need the key to get past this, that's the whole point of the encryption. If you don't need any data on the drive, you could reinstall, but be mindful, that will wipe out all data.
Post voice-over is good, the background "music" is annoying at the very best.
I appreciate the feedback. I used to think music made my videos better, still learning as i grow. 🙂
@@theit-unicorn1873 it just makes it hard to concentrate on details.
How can you custom MediCat USB?
You can use different grub themes that you can download from www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_theme.html. You will need to also create a folder on the USB called ventoy. In there you will create a ventoy.json file and copy the contents from the link above where it shows the example json file. delete everything following the 000ff" including the comma, all the way to the square bracket, leaving the two curly brackets at the bottom. Hope this helps. I can make a quick video if needed. Cheers.
Anyone know if this set of utilities has anything to repair win 10 update failures? I have run all the usual cmd line fixes but nothing works. (Windows Update Troubleshooter, DSIM, sfc) I think the local image for repair is corrupted as DSIM and sfc both fail. win update error code: 0x800703f1. I am loathed to bite the bullet and perform a clean install.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Have you tried the boot repair disk in Medicat? Sounds like you are unable to even boot into Windows, is that correct? Just trying to understand your current state.
@@theit-unicorn1873 Thx for the reply. I can boot into windows, laptop is fine other than I cannot install the latest feature updates or in-place upgrade to win11 from win10. DISM errors (1009), sfc errors for windows protection module and tried safe mode and selective startup too. No joy yet.
Im using ventoy. Having a problem. When i virtually mount win11 iso, modify some files , then recrete amodded win 11 iso. That iso doesnt boot in ventoy saying its unbootable iso. Any ideas?
Can you boot the iso outside of ventoy?
@@theit-unicorn1873 I would need to burn. Bootable cd or bootable usb. I thought the bootable part was during the media creatiin. Ie cd or usb formatting.
@@Swenser You could try using Rufus to test your modded win11 PE ISO. That would help rule out a Ventoy specific issue with your ISO.
I received an Error when I entered the Boot Menu on my HP laptop. It is asking for me to perform a MOK management process. My options are 1. Continue to Boot 2. Enroll key from disk 3. Enroll hash from disk. Please advise
The easiest thing to do here is disable secure boot in your UEFI/BIOS. You can easily turn secure boot back on when you are done with the USB session. If you MUST keep secure boot on, you would need to enroll the key.
Are all those tools free to use or do you have to buy licensing to use them?
A lot are free. Others have trial/limited versions included.
Kinda stupid question but when i boot Medicat mini windows 10 programs just doesnt fit the screen. How do i change screen resolution when its only one 640x480?
Is it just specific apps in the mini Windows 10, or everything in mini W10?
@@theit-unicorn1873 i havent tried all of them but the ones i tried are too big for this laptop screen. And desktop looks bigger than in your video for example (ofcourse it could be filmed on big monitor and this is laptop monitor)
Do you have another device to test it on? I'm wondering if there's a graphics driver issue@@Bdrbs
Well since my last comment I have tried and tried to get the download and install but it just will not create a bootable drive with Medicat so what am I doing wrong?
Are you following the tutorial, or are you downloading all the files and trying to create a bootable that route?
@@theit-unicorn1873 Ok IT mate I have downloaded about five installers and then when it comes to the torrent I am getting messages like there is not enough memory. Am using a 64GB USB stick and have 16GB RAM on the machine which is usually a very quick machine to use. So I ma left wondering what I am doing wrong or is there something about the torrent download that isn't running properly.
Whats that music near the end? (not outro)
It's a Russian version of the Tetris theme song. pixabay.com/music/video-games-rasputin-russia-tetris-game-cossack-puzzle-soundtrack-mystery-148250/
@@theit-unicorn1873 oo thanks!
No Gparted or Clonezilla? no GUI linux live environment for managing files when you need windows security ignored? The live mini windows with tools is nice though.
I think you'll love my Ultimate USB. Check out the video if you have not already. it has all that and MUCH MORE! Let me know what you think.
As Medicat is Ventoy based, I think you can add both. Also the menu with tools is portable app launcher, you should be able to add/remove portable apps in it.
Why does Medicat install to usb trigger multiple viruses on install by win11 defender ? Not installing.
You would have to look at your logs for specifics, but there are many utilities in Medicat. For example, it includes utilities to help you if you forget your Windows password, this could be seen as malicious. Be sure you download from a valid source. This is why any instructionals on Medicat will have you pause your AV.
Not a bad single USB stick. Now if someone could just figure out how to decrypt bitlocked drives. Ive had a number of clients come to me recently with locked drives when they did absolutely nothing to prompt it to lock. I know that windows 10 and 11 should NOT come with bitlocker already running but for some strange reason im seeing systems come in that are locked now.
That is very interesting. Any common denominator?
@@theit-unicorn1873 Aside from them all being laptops... Not really. One machine was only about two months old and the guy in his 60's was like... I closed the lid like I always do before I go to bed and then this morning I opened it up to this message. Really odd.
Yes 11&10 auto encrypt now I got myself in a pickle trying to reinstall windows bc of this feature
If they used their Microsoft account when they set up the system, the key is stored online in their Microsoft account.
@@TimRump1 The problem is most people don't remember the initial password they used to set up their account and unfortunately I've had to tell many clients your 4 digit pin is NOT that password. The way Microsoft is pushing people to use online accounts is understandable but there are still a large enough (elderly) community out there that doesen't have a secondary email or a smart phone to send a reset text.
Someone online said you can put the entirety of Medi Cat into Ventoy. Is this correct?
That someone may have been me 🙂 You certainly can wrap medicat right into Ventoy to have it boot alongside other images. Check out my USB playlist. Also, my Ultimate USB has Medicat along with 45 other bootable images. You can find it here - www.bootableusbs.com Thanks for stopping by!
Medicat itself uses ventoy. As documented in their website
@@celiskurtis Some other internet dude was making sound like the reverse was possible.
Sure does@@celiskurtis
Dose it act as a windows repair disk? Is it compatible with windows 7??
Yes, they’re are boot repair utilities included, amongst many others! 😊
The Medicat File is 21 GB??? How large is it when unzipped to a USB?
Not too much bigger. If you have a 32GB drive, that'll work.
How do you get out of medicat and go back to your system?
Just reboot and do not boot back into the USB. If you have USB set as the first boot option, remove your USB and reboot. Let me know.
downloaded 23GB expecting it to be smaller
That sounds about right. A 32 GB is more than enough
Can I boot medicat in UEFI?
I believe so.
I would like to see the password cracking.
Doesn't boot properly with secure boot. I tried it with different configurations but none work.
I have had it work with Secure Boot, but it's a pain. I recommend just disabling secure boot if you are booting anything other than Windows from USB. To make it work with secure boot, you have to add the certificate and an entry for that particular boot image to your boot menu. Again, it's kind of a pain, but possible.
@@theit-unicorn1873 thank you
@@theit-unicorn1873 I did exactly that, I disabled secure boot to be able to boot. After I'm done a turn on secure boot again
why is it, that when i downloaded MediCat via torrent, and try installing it on my flash drive, Window Defender found malware. should I ignore it? it's not false positive. it's a legit malware.
Medicat has utilities in it that will be flagged. Where did you get the torrent? Make sure you check the hash of the downloaded file.
@@theit-unicorn1873 its from the medicat website. will try downloading from other links.
Files not found errors, thousands
What step are you on?
You should look at the official guide. Sounds like you didn’t turn off win defender before downloading straight to drive. Be to turn off reputation based app downloads as well that kept 40~ items from installing when I made my drive
@@CR-vq9cn I love this, the community interactions make me happy! Thank you guys!
the Sergei Strelec one better than this imo, and only 4gb not 21gb
That's the beauty of my Ultimate USB. If you haven't checked it out I highly recommend you do. You can add/remove as many images as you would like. If you prefer alternative tools to what I have loaded, you are free to swap those out with just a few clicks. Thanks for stopping by.
elon musk said it dont work
Tell Elon to give me a call.
Really annoying background music.
Is the specific music? Or are you just not a fan of any background music?
I have to agree; was a bit "busy" and distracting. I'd recommend background music only at spots it would be good to have, not all the way through.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm still learning, so I appreciate it. @@alanonsr3942
Something like 22GB plus it is a bloated tool. Thanks but no thanks.
Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment. With the price of flash drives today, 22GB is pretty cheap. I respect your opinion though. This is another reason that I took it a step further and showed the community how to use Ventoy to create your multi-boot USB, and even add MediCat to that USB if you so choose. Thanks again for stopping by. 🙂
@@theit-unicorn1873 Ventoy is also a tool I use for convenience with an USB to SATA adapter attached to an SSD. I am sure there plenty of people who like Medicat. Thanks for the video.
@@repairman2be250 That's pretty cool, I like the thought of having Ventoy in front of a SATA drive. Thanks for sharing.
The background noise forces me to thumb down and not to subscribe
Ouch! Give a man a break, would ya? 🙂 I'm still learning as I grow this channel. Either way, thanks for the feedback and have a good day.
Looks incomplete and crappy.
Have you seen my Ultimate USB? I think you might like that one better.
@@theit-unicorn1873
I'm an IT guy since the late '80's, I'm not looking for some magic USB recovery/diagnostic key, instead I decided today to see if there are any tools out there that I might consider to add to my USB key, while preferring quality over quantity. It would be great to find a single tool that allows me to remove multiple tools at once, since I don't like to scroll pages of tools to find what I'm looking for.
Provide G-drive link of zip where evry single file is available
Not needed, also G-drive is 15GB capacity, Medicat is larger than that. Follow the directions and you should be able to create one. ruclips.net/video/xzYGgEvxLdI/видео.html Cheers. 🙂
Hello, I joined your channel and gave it a warm thumbs-up! However, just a wee comment because I cannot keep quiet on this point any longer. I am an English teacher, in Australia and am appalled at the constant violence being done to the English language.
So many ''You Guys this, and You Guys that.'' Verily drives me to drink!
You as a pronoun is both second person singular and second person plural. It's the most elementary grammatical-rule possible.
Now, if you used ''you lads'' instead---this might put a refreshingly delightful spin on things.
Just a, mischievous, thought...😀
Thanks so much for joining the channel and giving it a thumbs up! I will think about the "you lads" for the future. 🙂
While I wandered into this video w/ content way above my head, I do have the expertise to comment on this point regarding grammar. Beyond addressing the use of colloquialism, "You" has been used as an adjective to modify the noun in the vocative* case, "guys." It answers which guys... not these, not those, but you guys. Also you, plural, is "understood."
*vocative case, AKA direct address
@@dab9018 This brought back memories using the vocative case in my schoolboy Latin grammar, as in O Caesar! And what you say is true, however, is it ideal? If men are addressed as guys they will behave as such, but address them as gentlemen, such will rise to the occasion /station.
Just a wee thought in a world of perpetual dumb-ing down.
@@dab9018 now that went over my head. ;-)
I prefer using “you all” is that allowed?
