Here’s a few Windows programs I find indispensable.

First these are my basic disc/ISO tools.

ISO2Disc	http://www.top-password.com/iso2disc.html
	This is the best burner I’ve found. It burns bootable ISO’s to both CD/DVDs and USB flash drives (UFD). Excellent for making bootable Windows Installation USB drives.
WinMD5	http://winmd5.com/
	Nice simple MD5 calculator and checker. No installation is required, just run the exe file.
InfraRecorder	http://infrarecorder.org/
	A useful CD/DVD burner with some neat features ie. it can report which formats the drive can read and write.
ImageUSB	http://www.osforensics.com/tools/write-usb-images.html
	A useful tool with the ability to format or zero a USB drive or to create an ISO from a USB drive.
EasyBCD	https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/
	For setting up multi boot systems from Windows. Is of limited use now as Windows on a UEFI PC can’t boot linux, see the following for an explanation (post #4).

For the Raspberry Pi I use these:

PuTTY	http://www.putty.org/
	PuTTY is an SSH and telnet client. Connect and control the Pi from another computer
Auremo	http://auremo.codeplex.com/
	Auremo is a graphical client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD). Control the Pi’s music player from a remote computer, makes adding streams and playlists a breeze
