Unified Bootable Toolbox ISO image now provided, replacing the separate Mac and PC Bootable Toolboxes. This can be used for:

Bootable Toolbox and the boot media for system drives created by Toolbox:

- support a wider range of motherboards
- support SAS adapters and the RevoDrive 350
- Support operation of trackpads

Known Issues:

- Running Toolbox from a Linux command line may display a warning message "QT: session management error" in some Linux distributions. This message can be safely ignored.
- Bootable Toolbox operation can be unreliable on some hosts if the keyboard, mouse and monitor are connected via a KVM
- Bootable Toolbox does not support all Intel wireless adapters or Atheros wired network adapters
- Some older Apple Macintosh cannot boot from USB for Bootable Toolbox
- Bootable Toolbox may fail to update firmware on some Apple Macintosh if booting from CD, although booting from USB works correctly

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
