Prosoft drive utils ship on Leopard startup DVDs

Prosoft has updated two of its programs, which now have the option of free Leopard Boot DVDs. The discs should allow users to run the applications when a hard drive is otherwise unaccessible. The first of the programs, Data Rescue II, is intended for emergency file recovery, and can copy information from corrupt or unmountable hard drives, and restore data normally considered deleted. Mac OS X 10.2 or later is required, though the boot disc can run on any Mac from a G3 onwards. The base software costs $100.

Drive Genius 2 is used to manage hard drives, through tools for the likes of directory repair, defragmenting and repartitioning. The software is claimed to be the same used by Apple employees at Genius Bars. Like Data Rescue, Drive Genius costs $100, but runs only on Mac OS X 10.4.9 and a 1GHz G4 or better.
