Data Rescue II adds Leopard compatibility
Prosoft Engineering today announced that the latest version of its Data Rescue II software offers full support for Mac OS X Leopard. The previous revision was only compatible with a Leopard-based Mac when booted from the optical drive, according to the company, and the update achieves Leopard compatibility without the need to boot from a CD or DVD disk. Data Rescue II helps users recover files from problematic hard drives or files that were previously deleted. The software is priced at $100 and requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
"Data Rescue II works when other tools fail. Data Rescue II is also completely safe to use since it does not attempt any risky repairs to the drive while its scanning," Prosoft Engineering says. "This is the safest, most powerful software to recover your hard drive."
Prosoft suggests its drive recovery software to users with a hard drive that won't mount, corrupted hard drives with inaccessible files, and users hoping to retrieve recently deleted files. The application analyzes the entire hard drive looking for data, and reassembles files to store them in a different location.
Drive Rescue II recovers all file types including their data, icons, dates, and folder hierarchy. The software also retrieves deleted digital pictures from camera media after reformatting, deleting the files, or discovery of card corruption.
