I've found the manual PDF for the disk, and it's simple but useful. I found what appears to be the application software itself on someones website. The tool was originally cracked by, but 5.0.4.0 and above were cracked by and edited by. Ever since 5.0.4.0, all of the Geek Squad™ propaganda has been replaced with propaganda. This tool has been cracked by since version 4.8.1. Essentially it's a tool that makes removing spyware and other issues with Windows a breeze. The disc has tools to help fix computers - it has AntiVirus, AntiSpyware, Disk Cleaner, Process List, Winsock Fix, etc, all a graphical user interface. This is the Best Buy Geek Squad™ repair disc - Code Name MRI - for internal use only, confidential, and a trade secret.

The Ultimate Boot CD, or UBCD, is a CD which contains several diagnostic tools for the Windows OS. Several places and websites stated the software & boot disk they use is basically the Ultimate Boot CD on steroids. While I was waiting I was researching the kinds of utilities they use for debugging issues. So I (resentfully) took it back to Geek Squad™ to try and fix the problem. We brought it home and almost instantly had problems with it. It was the display model, so it was relatively cheap ($696 compared to $1,200 MSRP) and used. My father purchased an Asus G46VW ROG Laptop from Best Buy.
