What advantages does Selkie Rescue have over other data recovery products?
A huge advantage is that Selkie Rescue requires no pre-installation of any kind. You just put the bootable CD into the CD-Rom drive of the broken computer and begin. Windows does not have to function in any way, shape or form in order for Selkie Rescue to work. Another advantage is that Selkie will work either through a direct connect (via a cross-over cable) or through a LAN. It is your choice. You just select the computer that you want the data placed on and go. This leads to yet another advantage: you have complete control over what Selkie rescues. You can choose specific files or recover everything. This flexibility means that you can quickly access the most important files on a computer if the hard drive is dying. If time is not an issue, the only limit to the amount of data you can recover is the size of the new computer’s drive.
