You know the situation all too well: Your workstation/server won't start up or refuses you access. An employee has locked himself out of his system, or a computer is showing the dreaded "Blue Screen" and nothing works anymore.

The Windows system itself with its bootable rescue CD is not able to fully assist you in this situation. If the system won’t start anymore because important files have been lost through a virus attack or accidental deletion, the Windows CD quickly shows its limitations as it cannot recover data.

The Windows CD is also unable to reset lost passwords so users can gain access to the affected system again. It cannot rescue a system when a password is forgotten, and the only option then left open to you is to set up the whole system again from scratch.

If you have to set up a computer for a new user that was previously in use, there are various data protection requirements to fulfill, especially in a business environment. Data used and saved by the previous user must be deleted beyond hope of recovery for security reasons. Simply formatting the hard disk is not enough. Data saved on formatted disks is still accessible and can be easily recovered with the right recovery software. A bootable rescue CD should then meet the following criteria:

• Data recovery function
• Resets any password
• Different methods of secure data deletion
• Registry and ASCII editor for trouble shooting
• Driver support for optimal hardware support

O&O BlueCon easily fits the bill, and helps you in a whole range of ways to administer Windows systems. With O&O BlueCon you can quickly bring crashed systems back to life, recover lost data and ensure that no confidential data leaves your company. At the same time you prevent potentially fatal losses of important data and avoid the expense and time involved in new installations. O&O BlueCon is a powerful system rescue tool and a must for any system administrator.
