Starting O&O DiskRecovery Without Prior Installation
If, during an emergency, O&O DiskRecovery is not yet installed on your computer, you still have the possibility of
executing an Instant-Installation. The Instant-Installation is not system bound. In combination with portable disks the
possibility exists to start O&O DiskRecovery on that "instant" on a second computer and to select a removable disks
(USB-Stick, external hard disk) as target folder for the "Instant-Installation". You can connect the disks afterwards to
the actual computer, where data needs to be saved and start O&O DiskRecovery from there. You will completely avoid
the installation on your target computer, which possibly might overwrite important data areas of the hard disk, and
would thus make data rescue efforts very difficult or even impossible.
Note: To execute the Instant-Installation correctly, you will need a second computer and a portable disk or a net-
work connection from which you can access the target computer.
Note: If you execute the Instant-Installation on the same computer from which you want to rescue data, you should
bear in mind that starting the installation might overwrite important data areas. We therefore recommend to use a
second computer and a portable disk for the Instant-Installation.
Note: Should you have already fully installed O&O DiskRecovery on a computer, then you cannot carry out an
Instant Installation on this machine. As a result, the Instant Installation pop-up window will not appear.
Run Instant-Installation
Run Instant-Installation, if you have already lost data involuntarily and have not installed O&O DiskRecovery on your
computer yet.
Note: To run the Instant-Installation correctly, you will need a second computer and a portable disk or a network con-
nection from which you can access the target computer.
1. Place the O&O-DiskRecovery-CD in the CD/DVD drive of the second computer or download the installation file
from our web server.
2. If you want to use a portable disk (instead of a network connection)for the installation, connect it to the second
computer before starting the installation.
3. Start the installation file (*.exe) and select Instant-Installation in the dialogue.
4. Set the portable disk as target and follow the dialogue prompts to finish the installation.
5. after a successful installation, connect the portable disk to the target computer where you want to rescue data.
6. Start O&O Instant DiskRecovery from there and enter the license code when asked, which you have received
upon purchase of the software.
7. Execute the data rescue as described in chapter Getting started.
