When it comes to disk utilities, there's literally an application for just about every conceivable purpose. There's no shortage of backup and recovery software, performance optimization tools, security solutions and more. It's easy to end up being spoiled by choice and installing so many applications on your computer that it ends up being counterproductive. Active@ Live CD aims to change that by providing a fully consolidated range of utilities that run in their own operating environment without relying on the operating system installed on the computer. In fact, there's nothing stopping you from booting up from the CD or USB drive even when you have no primary OS installed on the machine. This makes Active@ Live CD the ideal tool when it comes to performing various low-level tasks such as data recovery and secure data deletion.

Enjoy a User-Friendly Graphical Interface

Most of us are familiar with the tired stereotype of the so-called computer expert endlessly tapping away commands on a screen. While the command line interface still has its uses in certain applications (and there's one with Active@ ...
... Live CD as well), most people are familiar with a graphical user interface. Based on the latest KDE5, a popular graphical environment that's often used for Linux-based operating systems, Active@ Live CD provides ease of use with highly advanced functionality under the hood. The new edition, launched on January 31st, 2019, also comes with updated versions of every core tool including KillDisk 11.1, UNDELETE 15, Partition Recovery 18, Disk Editor 7, Password Changer 9 and Disk Backup 2. There's also an improved boot disk creator for Windows, allowing you to download the software and create your bootable operating system disk in no time.

Backup and Disaster-Recovery Made Easy

When it comes to backing up your computer, there's no better way to do it than by using a disk-imaging utility that makes a complete byte-by-byte copy of all the data on the disk. This way, you can be sure that there will be nothing that gets left forgotten about. Furthermore, a disk image comes in very useful for recovery purposes, since you can simply extract it onto any other hard drive with the necessary capacity and get back to work right away. This is also useful if you're upgrading or replacing your hard drive, or you want to move your operating system, programs and documents over to a new computer without having to spend hours doing everything manually. If you don't have a backup, however, Active@ Live CD can even help you recover deleted files and partitions, even if the drive has been formatted. Because it works in its own operating environment, it doesn't modify anything on the disk you're trying to recover data from either.

Disk Sanitation for Added Peace of Mind

On the other hand, if you're selling or donating your computer, then you probably don't want people being able to recover the data. With the included Active@ KillDisk, you can overwrite everything with zeros to ensure that any data on the device can never be recovered.
