O&O DiskRecovery Professional 10.0 released, offers to repair corrupt data before recovery

O&O Software GmbH has released a major new version of its general-purpose data-recovery software for Windows, O&O DiskRecovery Professional 10.0. The update follows on from the recent release of companion product O&O MediaRecovery 10.0.

Version 10.0 ships with a redesigned user interface, adds support for Windows 10 Technical Preview and introduces new data repair capabilities.

O&O DiskRecovery Professional 10 comes with the promise of a redesigned user interface, although in truth this amounts to little more than some redesigned icons and tweaked font sizes. It remains wizard-based and reasonably simple to navigate, however, and has been improved to be more user-friendly than before.

The tool does add one notable new feature: the ability to repair corrupt data prior to recovering it. The program also promises to improve its recovery of metadata from media files, and widens its support for recovering over 80 different types of media file.

The program also comes with the promise of support for the Windows 10 Technical Preview, but in tandem with other recent O&O updates drops support for Windows XP.

The update follows on two weeks from the release of companion product O&O MediaRecovery 10, and shares practically the same changes.

O&O DiskRecovery Professional 10.0 is available now as function-limited trial download for PCs running Windows Vista or later, and has a MSRP of $99. The installer will download the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit) based on your version of Windows during the install process.
