Download a copy of Trinity Rescue Kit, good for finding or resetting Windows passwords (in case you are given a PC to repair where the user has forgotten his password), and for Windows data recovery and reapir:

Also download and burn a disc of the Ultimate Boot CD for diagnostics and a host of other useful utilities (not to mention password resetting):
