O&O DiskImage – Complete System Backups and Recovery

O&O DiskImage enables the backup and recovery of entire drives and partitions, including the operating system, installed applications, settings, and data.

In an emergency, existing backups can be restored directly from the O&O BlueCon recovery environment, even if Windows no longer starts. This helps administrators recover damaged systems and minimize downtime.

O&O DiskImage is included in the Corporate, Technician, Site, and Enterprise Editions.

O&O DiskRecovery – Recover Lost and Deleted Files

O&O DiskRecovery helps recover accidentally deleted or lost files from hard drives, SSDs, and other supported storage media.

The program uses various scanning methods to identify files that are no longer accessible through the normal file system. Depending on the condition of the storage medium, important documents and other data may still be recoverable.

Recovery can be performed directly from the bootable environment without starting the installed Windows system.

Availability depends on the respective license.

O&O SafeErase – Securely and Permanently Erase Confidential Data

O&O SafeErase enables the secure deletion of data from drives and partitions, preventing recovery using conventional data recovery methods.

It is particularly useful when preparing company computers and storage media for reassignment, resale, or disposal.

Erasure operations can be performed directly from the O&O BlueCon recovery environment without starting the installed operating system.

Availability depends on the respective license.

O&O DiskCommander – Manage Files Even When Windows No Longer Starts

O&O DiskCommander is the modern file manager in O&O BlueCon 25, replacing the previous O&O FileExplorer.

It provides direct access to files, folders, and drives, even when the installed Windows system is damaged or unable to boot.

Administrators can browse, copy, move, and manage files, secure important data on external storage media, and examine system logs before carrying out repair operations.

O&O PartitionManager – Offline Partition and Disk Management

O&O PartitionManager enables the management of hard drives, SSDs, and partitions independently of the installed Windows system.

Administrators can create, delete, move, and resize partitions to examine disk structures, prepare storage media, and address partition-related issues.

Operations can be performed even when the affected Windows installation no longer starts.

Availability depends on the respective license.

O&O CheckAndRepair – Repair Windows System Files and File Systems

O&O CheckAndRepair is the updated repair tool in O&O BlueCon 25, replacing the previous CheckDisk.

It checks and repairs the Windows component store using DISM, system files using SFC, and file system errors using CHKDSK.

These operations target the selected Windows installation directly, making it possible to diagnose and repair damaged systems without starting Windows.

O&O DriverManager – Manage Windows Drivers Offline

O&O DriverManager allows administrators to examine installed Windows drivers and modify their startup settings, even when the operating system cannot boot.

Problematic drivers can be disabled to prevent them from loading during the next Windows startup. The program can also identify driver entries whose associated files are missing.

Previous registry settings are backed up before changes are made, allowing modifications to be reversed if necessary.

O&O ServiceManager – Manage Windows Services Independently of Windows

O&O ServiceManager allows administrators to manage Windows services within the selected offline installation.

Services can be examined and their startup settings modified, for example to disable a faulty service that prevents Windows from starting.

The tool also helps identify services with missing executable files. O&O ServiceManager and O&O DriverManager are two views of the same management application.

O&O EventViewer – Analyze Event Logs on Unbootable Systems

O&O EventViewer provides access to Windows event logs even when the installed operating system no longer starts.

Administrators can examine system and application events as well as open existing event log files to investigate crashes, driver issues, service failures, and other errors.

This helps identify possible causes of startup problems and plan appropriate recovery measures.

O&O RegEditor – Edit the Windows Registry Offline

O&O RegEditor enables direct access to the Windows registry of a selected installation, even when that system cannot boot.

Administrators can examine and modify registry entries to correct faulty configurations and resolve system problems.

The edition integrated into O&O BlueCon 25 works with the registry of the affected Windows installation on the storage device.

O&O UpdateManager – Remove Problematic Windows Updates Offline

O&O UpdateManager replaces the previous O&O UpdateRemover in O&O BlueCon 25.

It displays installed Windows updates and allows administrators to remove problematic updates from the selected Windows installation.

This is particularly useful when a failed or incompatible update causes startup failures or system instability.

O&O UserManager – Manage Local User Accounts and Passwords

O&O UserManager provides offline administration of local Windows user accounts and groups.

Administrators can reset forgotten local passwords and manage local accounts and group memberships without starting Windows.

The program supports local Windows accounts only. Microsoft accounts and domain accounts cannot be modified.

O&O DeskInfo – Display and Export System Information

O&O DeskInfo replaces the previous O&O SystemInfo in O&O BlueCon 25.

It displays important system information and allows it to be exported for diagnostics, technical support, and documentation.

This helps administrators assess the affected computer and prepare further troubleshooting steps.

Additional Programs and Recovery Tools

O&O BlueCon 25 includes additional utilities for system diagnostics, maintenance, and administration.

  • Mozilla Firefox: Access online documentation, support resources, and downloads when an internet connection is available.

O&O Syspectr – Optional Remote Management Integration

O&O BlueCon 25 supports optional integration with O&O Syspectr, the cloud-based solution for monitoring and managing Windows systems.

If O&O Syspectr is installed on the computer used to create the recovery media, its agent can be included in the recovery environment.

O&O Syspectr is a separate service and is not automatically included with every O&O BlueCon license.
