FirstDefense Rescue 64bit and MBR

Hi,

I didn't find anything about these two essentials at Horizon DataSys website nor their forum.
- Does FD Rescue v3.1.215 support 64bit OS like FD-ISR?
- Does FD Rescue v3.1.215 modify the MBR or does it use the Partition Boot Record for pre-boot code like FD-ISR?

I'm currently writing a review about FD Rescue, but have no clue about these issues.

Maybe someone is able to enlighten me.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers

 

So I'm going to ask a similar question to what Subset did:
- Does FD Rescue v3.1.215 support 64bit Vista?

 

All I can say Leapfrog FD-ISR works fine for both Windows XP x64 and Vista x64 on my PC. My guess is that FD-Rescue doesn't work much differently then FD-ISR except of the limitation of having two snapshots max. So it should run just fine!

 

Thanks for the reply, Brambb.

 

Ditto what Brambb said. The classic FDISR from Leapfrog works perfectly in 64-bit Vista and XP.

 

Subset,
I have FD-Rescue on my Vista x64 and was able to boot to my rescue area and back, so it appears to work. I'm sure results may vary depending on what programs you have running and/or the way your system is set up, but I am thrilled because I like to trial software and that sometimes has conquences.

 

Thanks for information.

It also seems like FD-Rescue doesn't modify the MBR.
I have restored an image with ShadowProtect and selected to restore the original Windows MBR, which did not disable the Pre-Boot menu of FD-Rescue.

At first sight it looks like the FD-Rescue version is outdated because of the build number, but in fact it isn't.

Cheers

 

I can confirm, exactly the same results.
