Knoppix-Based Runtime Live CD - Experimental*)
 |
Runtime Software has teamed up with Knoppix, the Linux-based bootable live system. Already used by Millions around the world, the Knoppix Live CD features automatic hardware detection and support for many network adapters, graphic cards, hard disk controllers, SCSI and USB devices, and other peripherals.
Ready-To-Use Recovery Environment
The Runtime Live CD is ready-to-use and preinstalled with all our data recovery tools. The Live CD is an ideal recovery environment as it is Linux-based, and therefore less prone to a Windows tendency to manipulate and change Windows-formatted disks. This reduces the risk of overwriting data that you want to recover, especially on Windows boot disks (C:). The Runtime Live CD is an alternative to our WinPE boot CD. The Live CD provides access to network resources and the Internet.
We provide the Runtime Live CD free of charge for users of our data recovery software.
Creating the Runtime Live CD
To create the Runtime Live CD,
- Download the ISO image of the Runtime Live CD
- Burn it onto a CD-Rom
- Reboot your computer from that CD into the Runtime Live CD desktop.
Runtime Live CD Desktop
Once you have booted the Runtime Live CD you can start using our data recovery software. Simply double-click the appropriate icon.
Mapping Drives
Other than with Windows, in Linux you have to declare disks you want to use for copying. If you have provided a disk to hold all the data you want to recover later, you should double-click "Target drive for data (backup)". Select this drive and it will automatically be mapped to drive letter R:. Later, in GetDataBack, for example, you would copy the recovered files to drive R:.
