Comments on How to Rescue your Windows or Linux System with Rescatux
Rescatux is yet another GNU/Linux distribution that is focused on the rescuing of other operating systems. It works in live mode and offers a rich set of tools to address a wide range of problems in Linux and even Windows. What makes Rescatux stand out from the many similarly orientated rescue systems is mainly its straightforwardness. Instead of offering a set of tools that will help you fix your “broken” system, it starts Rescapp right away which is a window that features categorized buttons to address a specific problem.

1) First of all although I might sound angry on some of my remarks below :) I thank you for your effort to put these most used features together. Hopefully I can learn from your feedback.
2) " This will work for XP, Vista, and Windows 7. "
I think it also works in other newer Versions. I will have to do some tests and update that text.
3) " Windows saving features is ClamAV and the ability to detect viruses and delete the infected files. "
The most easiest similar feature to implement is a feature that disables most everything on boot. Sometimes it helps on accessing your system if some process (or virus) unables you to use your computer. Check: https://adrian15sgd.wordpress.com/2013/08/15/rescatux-idea-recovering-windows-registry/ for a more detailed explanation on what it could be done. Feedback on those ideas is welcomed.
I still do not understand that being able to run ClamAV will let you to get into your computer again, but, yes, it might make sense.
4) "Grub menus can be updated as well as Rescatux offers the Bootrepair tool that we analyzed on a previous post. ". Or you can use the 'Restore Grub' and 'Update Grub' options which are supported. Boot-repair does some additional magic which Rescatux currently does not perform but, as the first try, it's recommended to use our options. Because Boot-repair magic sometimes it's too magic and it relies blindly on an internet connection being available.
5) "As I am using a Virtual Machine to test Rescatux, I can't configure the only disk that is detectable from Gparted," . That's a thing that makes me angry. It might be someone doing a video or a webpage howto. It does not matter. They have a virtual machine but, somehow, they forget to add additional hard disks (and even better install OSes into them). Take a look at my Rescatux tour videos. Having those OSes installed makes the experience more fruitful.
6) If anyone else has valuable feedback from Rescatux I'm glad to hear it.
well it might sound stupid but how can i connect to wifi
