Explaining the main functions
A total Windows system crash is every administrator's worst nightmare. If a new start or restoring the old settings doesn’t help then it is mostly too late.
O&O BlueCon provides a whole range of refined tools for solving problems. A particular highlight is the ability to start O&O BlueCon from CD ROM with no prior installation. This enables you to access systems that cannot be started anymore from the hard disk. This prevents data being damaged by additional or new installations of Windows.
There are many situations in which O&O BlueCon can help you. We have listed the most common for you here to give you an idea of O&O BlueCon’s performance range:
Windows-based interface
With O&O BlueCon the user has a task bar, Start menu and all appropriate program buttons at their disposal. This enables access without entering command lines and with just a few simple mouse clicks. Navigation, as in Windows, can be done with the mouse. For execution, editing or creation of basic files users have a command-line editor at their fingertips.
Rescue crashed Windows installations
O&O BlueCon helps you get to the root of the problem. With the O&O SPRManager you can recover your old Windows XP system. (See O&O SRPManager)
Backup data from defective systems
Copy data from defective systems to external storage media. You can access your system without having to write on it – this gives you the security of knowing no data will be lost. Simply start the O&O BlueCon CD and access all partitions! (See O&O FileExplorer) (see O&O FileExplorer)
Disable defective drivers and system services
Amongst the most common causes of a system crash are defective drivers or system services. These are loaded before the user can log on, giving them no opportunity to remove or replace them. With O&O BlueCon you can simply disable the driver or service, or replace them with a new version! (see O&O DeviceManager) (See O&O
DeviceManager)
Edit the Registry
The registry is the central depot where all system and user settings are saved. Any errors here can prevent your system from running correctly. False driver or service parameters can also cause severe problems. The O&O Reg-
Editor enables you to change or correct entries in the registry. (See O&O RegEditor)

About O&O BlueCon 9
Gain access without an administrator password
You cannot log on to your Windows system without a password. If you forget or lose this password you have to install Windows anew in order to gain system access. O&O BlueCon provides you with a tool to delete or change passwords for local user accounts so that you regain access to their systems. (See O&O UserManager)
Securely delete data
With O&O BlueCon,the technology of O&O SafeErase will let you delete data, partitions, hard disks or entire systems beyond any chance of recovery. Using five different methods of deletion it is possible to overwrite data up to
35 times!
Data recovery included
O&O DiskRecovery, our data rescue specialist, is integrated into O&O BlueCon to help restore data that was accidentally deleted. This lets you recover data in almost every data loss scenario caused by software, be that as a result of formatted disks, accidental deletion, or viral attack. With O&O DiskRecovery, data recovery was never so easy, quick and affordable.
Data imaging with O&O DiskImage*
You can start O&O DiskImage without installation directly from the O&O BlueCon CD. If you have problems with your operating systems, you could for instance, restore a previously created image, and afterwards continue using your computer as usual.
In case of data loss, O&O DiskImage can also be used to create a 1:1 image of the affected disk (forensic image).This image can then be mounted as a drive in Windows and you can try to rescue data using our O&O data rescue program. The advantage here is that the original disk will not be directly needed and so remains available for additional treatment, such as sending it to a data rescue laboratory.
* Note:O&O DiskImage is included in certain licenses and Editions of O&O BlueCon.For questions concerning our licensing model, please contact the O&O Customer Center . We will be happy to help you further.

The O&O BlueCon bootable disk
O&O BlueCon can be run from a bootable disk (boot medium) that lets you use all the programs in O&O BlueCon without any previous installation.You won't need a running Windows installation to start O&O BlueCon from a bootable medium (CD/DVD or USB stick) nor does it need to be installed on the computer.
The O&O BlueCon bootable disk is based on Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment).
Drive/Partition
A drive is a reserved area of the hard disk. Multiple drives can be found on a hard disk. In the following text, the term “drive” will be used to depict (single) partitions as well as logical drives in extended partitions and volumes.
Drives are used, for example, to separate documents from programs. A division in two partitions has become generally accepted: l l
Drive C: for operating systems and programs
Drive D: for documents, e.g. photos, Office documents, music, etc.
This makes it easier to image data using data imaging products such as O&O DiskImage.

No installation is necessary for O&O BlueCon.O&O BlueCon starts directly from the boot medium. You need the boot medium (CD/DVD or USB stick) when, for example, Windows is no longer able to start or you want to make changes to the system partition. To start, proceed as follows:
Start from CD/DVD
1. Make sure your computer can be started from the CD. You can place the appropriate settings in BIOS. Further information can be obtained from your motherboard manufacturer.
2. Insert the O&O BlueCon Start CD/DVD in your computer's optical drive.
3. Restart the computer. Follow the prompts for starting from CD/DVD.
4. The system settings will then appear in the window. Select a language and region.
5. At the next stage you can load drivers for those devices where no drivers under Windows PE were initially found, see also chapter
.
6. O&O BlueCon will be started after confirmation of the licensing provisions.
Start from USB stick
To start from a USB stick, you'll usually have to change the boot sequence in your computer's boot menu.Alternatively, you can also configure appropriate settings in the BIOS. You can find out more about this from your motherboard's manufacturer.
1. Open the boot menu while the computer is booting.
2. You can change the sequence in the menu if you place the USB entry (removable devices) at the beginning.
3. After this, your computer will recognize the USB stick as a boot medium and will start O&O BlueCon from there.
Note: Under certain conditions you may receive a message requiring you to restart if you have loaded an additional driver under Windows PE. This message is automatically generated by Windows PE and is irrelevant when starting from a CD/DVD or USB stick. Simply decline the request and follow the further instructions in the pop-up window.

Application scenarios
Application scenarios
The following are examples for quickly solving problems by using the programs in O&O BlueCon.
More:
Forgotten password
A user forgot his system password. He cannot remember it at all. You being the Administrator are asked to help.
Solution:
1. Start O&O BlueCon
2. Open the O&O UserManager under Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/UserManager.
3. Click on the icon User accounts.
4. Select the user who forgot his password from the list.
5. Click Change password and follow the directions in the dialogue window.
6. End BlueCon and restart your computer. After boot up, the user can login with a new password.
Important! If you want to change passwords with O&O BlueCon, you won't have access to encrypted files. Coding cannot be decrypted after the password changed!
Note: O&O UserManager can only manage local user accounts. No changes can be made to a domain controller.
Access data from a computer that can no longer boot
You need data from your computer but it is no longer able to boot. Before experimenting with system rescue attempts, you can copy the most important data from your hard disk onto an external disk (e.g. USB stick or USB hard disk) using the O&O FileExplorer.
Solution:
1. Connect an external storage medium such as a USB stick or hard disk to your computer.
2. Start the O&O BlueCon CD and open the O&O FileExplorer it via Start/Programs.
3. Scan the hard disk for files and folders.
4. Copy the files on the external storage media.
Your system crashes after driver installation or updates
You have installed a new program, for example a driver. Your system crashes immediately afterwards and will not restart.
Solution:
O&O BlueCon - 10
Application scenarios
1. Start O&O BlueCon
2. Open O&O SRP Manger by selecting SRP-Manager under Start/Programs/SystemRecovery. The O&O
SRP-Manager is recommended if your target system is Windows XP, several programs at the same time are responsible for the system error, or if you clearly cannot identify damaged programs. An alternative solution for problems with drivers would be to use the
3. Take a look at the saved SRP and restore your system to the stage just before you installed the program.
The files are now “unregistered”. - The SRP-Manager is by design unable to delete files that were produced after the creation of a restoration point. This includes program files (e.g. drivers).Restoring to a SRP with O&O BlueCon simply undoes changes made to the Registry database since the SRP's date of creation. In doing so, for instance, a defective driver hindering successful system startups will no longer be loaded at the next system startup.
After cleansing the Registry database using O&O BlueCon and enabling a normal system startup, it is then possible to run the system restoration function in Windows.
By the renewed use of the system restore points, you can also delete those files left behind.
Note: The system restore assistant only works if your target system is Windows XP. SRPs will not be detected on systems running other operating systems.
Note: If a SRP is listed as <linked>, it is linked to a SRP of the same name. You can choose whether you would like to restore both SRPs or just one.
Completely delete data
If you sell, give away, or discard your computer, it is very easy for your personal or business data to fall into the wrong hands. Windows does not completely delete data. Even formatting a hard disk is not enough to delete your data. You don't have access to it right away, but unauthorized access is still possible using special reconstructing software.
O&O SafeErase deletes your data using processes which are recommended by the US Department of Defence or the Federal Office for Information Security of Germany.
Solution:
1. Start O&O BlueCon
2. Open Start/Programs/Data security/O&O SafeErase.
3. Select the desired activity in the O&O-SafeErase Assistant and follow the directions of the dialogue window.
Note: The following program functions are not possible, if you use O&O SafeErase 3 from the O&O-BlueCon
CD:
- The secure deletion by right-clicking
- Secure moving
- Emptying the Recycle bin securely
- O&O TotalErase
Please bear in mind that data deleted with O&O SafeErase cannot be restored! Please make sure that before you delete anything, that you really would like to delete the data or that you have saved a back-up copy in another location (security copy).
Note: Detailed information to the secure deletion of data is available in the program Help of O&O SafeErase.
O&O BlueCon - 11
Application scenarios
Reconstruct deleted data
A user deleted important files or folders by accident. In addition, he even emptied the Recycle bin. Since he really needs the data, it needs to be restored quickly.
Solution:
1. Start O&O BlueCon
2. Start O&O DiskRecovery under Start/Programs/File Recovery/O&O DiskRecovery.
3. Click Next in the data recovery dialog to reach the selection of drives.
4. Now select the drive where you want to restore data. If you are not sure, select all drives.
5. Confirm the default settings for the data rescue on the next page. Afterwards, you can start your data rescue.
6. Select the files you want to restore from the folder and details list. To be totally sure, you can also select all.
The preview function lets you see the contents of certain file types (Graphics/Images).This function is enabled with Preview.
7. You will then get to the selection of the target folder of the restoration. Please make sure that the target folder is not located on one of the drives where recovery is taking place.
8. In the next step the files will be restored. After this is complete, you will be able to view a status report of all actions taken up to this point. You can now end O&O DiskRecovery and navigate to the target folder with your rescued data.
Note: Please make sure you have enough disk space for the recovered data.
Note: More detailed information about data recovery can be found in the O&O DiskRecovery Help.
Change system partitions
If your hard disk is only divided into one partition, you can assume to find your system files as well as your private data on it. If you want to create a system and a data partition, you must start O&O PartitionManager directly from the Start CD. Shrink the partition to the minimal size (based on the amount of data), and use the area that’s now free to create the desired number of partitions. Please follow the steps below:
1. Start O&O PartitionManager under Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/O&O PartitionManager
2. Right-click the selected system partition and then click Change location and size. In the dialogue box, go to
Partition size and set the minimal size. The space you now have available will be subsequently displayed in the view of the disk.
3. Generate a New partition by right-clicking on the free area.
4. If you want more subdivisions, then set the parameters for size in a way that there will still be space for additional partitions. In the dialogue you’ll also be able to perform additional functions such as assigning drive letters or the type of drive.
5. You will then be able to create the next partition in the same way. The new partition will be created after you’ve confirmed your selections.
Important: If the application is unsuccessful, there is a risk that your data will be either partially or fully lost.
That’s why you should backup all the original partition’s data onto a removable medium or another partition.
Tip: You can mark the new primary partition as active by right-clicking. This setting is important if you have or want to install one or more operating systems on this hard disk. The setting specifies that the bootloader of the operating system of the operating system is written on this partition, and that it should be started from there. If
O&O BlueCon - 12
Application scenarios you have several operating systems installed on one hard disk, the operating system which was installed last will always start. Only one "active" primary partition can exist on one hard disk.
If you are not sure please do not make any changes and keep the default settings.

O&O SRP Manager
O&O SRP Manager
O&O SRP-Manager allows for the easy access, management and restoration of Windows System Restore Points
(SRP). SRPs enable you to revert back to previously saved system configuration, even when the system is damaged or Windows will not start. The technology ensures that your system is restored intact despite whatever happened after the SRP. Restoring to SRPs makes changes to system-related files only. Personal files and folders, such as text files, photos or passwords remain completely preserved.
l
To open the O&O SRP-Manager, click Start/Programs/ System Recovery and then SRP-Manager.
Note: The system restore assistant only works, if your target system is Windows XP. SRPs will not be detected on systems running other operating systems.
Information regarding system restoration from Windows: Windows System Restoration monitors system changes and automatically creates system restore points. System restore points are points whereby the condition of your computer is stored. They enable you to restore your system to a previous state. As a rule, Windows creates system restore points daily, automatically and when important system events occur, e.g. when a driver is installed. You too can create and name your own system restore points under Windows. You can learn more under the System Restoration help section in Windows.

O&O RegEdit
O&O RegEdit
O&O RegEditor is similar in structure to the well-known Windows RegEdit. The O&O RegEditor provides full access to the Windows registry database. The settings for numerous Windows applications, drivers and services are saved here. A special feature of O&O RegEditor is the direct navigation over the address line. At that point, the DNS name will be automatically entered.
l
To open O&O RegEditor, click on Start/Programs/AdministrativeTools and then RegEdit.
Warning! The incorrect use of O&O RegEditor can cause severe problems affecting the whole system and may cause the need to reinstall the operating system. Before making changes to the Registry database in Windows, you should make a backup copy of all important computer information with an imaging program, such as O&O
DiskImage. O&O cannot guarantee that problems caused by the incorrect use of O&O RegEditor will be repairable.

O&O RegEdit
Important information regarding O&O RegEdit
The correct functioning of Windows systems relies strongly on information saved in the registry database. Incorrect information in this database can cause the total crash of a Windows system.
O&O RegEditor allows for the reading and editing of the maintenance system of the registry database, even when the maintenance system is no longer operational.
Navigation is over a tree structure in the left-hand window, just as in Windows. The two main keys “HKEY_LOCAL_
MACHINE” for computer-specific data and “HKEY_USERS” for user-specific data are displayed here.
All user profiles of the maintenance system are displayed in the user specific are.
The root key normally found under Windows “HKEY_CURRENT_USER” does not exist, since no current user is registered. You can reach these entries under “HKEY_USERS”, followed by the key with the appropriate user name.
The under Windows usual branch link „HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT“ does not exist, but may be opened over the key
„HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES“ or the corresponding subkey in „HKEY_USERS“.
The root key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet” for service and driver configuration also does not exist, as the maintenance system has not loaded a current ControlSet. To reach the ControlSet, under
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM” you can find several ControlSets (ControlSet001, ControlSet002, etc.). The current one is listed under “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select\Current”. It is normally ControlSet001.
The root key normally found under Windows “HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG” does not exist, but can be opened over the key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetXXX\Hardware Profiles\Current”. XXX is listed as the value from “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select\Current”.
Before changes can be made it is recommended that an Export (REG file) of the relevant key is made so that in any later import the changes can be made retrospectively. The exported REG files are compatible with the Windows
REG files.
RegEditor also allows for the editing, adding or deleting of keys and values. All data types recognized by Windows can be processed: l l l l l l
REG_SZ: Symbol chain
REG_DWORD: DWORD number, 32-Bit long
REG_MULTI_SZ: Several symbol chains
REG_EXPAND_SZ: Extendable symbol chain (environmental variables are employed)
REG_BINARY: Binary values
REG_QWORD: QWORD number, 64-Bit long
Various entry formats can be used when changing values. They can be entered in hexadecimal, decimal or binary formats.
What is the difference between a key and a value?
One or more values can be assigned to a key.
Keys are organized around main and subkeys. The main keys of O&O RegEdit in O&O BlueCon are: l l
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS
Under these main keys are several sub keys, which in turn own further sub-keys.

(3) If you receive updates of your programs as part of a Maintenance Agreement, the terms of payment in these contracts will apply to these Maintenance Agreements.
(4) O&O is entitled to forward any data it has received onto third parties requiring it for purposes of collection.
(5) Until payment is made in full, O&O retains possession of all rights, particularly those concerning copyrighted rights of use, on the materials included in this contract. O&O is specifically entitled to cancel a contract, for example, when your payment is delayed, it prohibits the further using of the software and demands the surrendering of

End user license agreement 3.5 (EULA) all copies or this being impossible, to demand their deletion. Should a third party have access to the object of purchase before payment is completed for the contractual software, you are required to inform this third party about the object being the property of O&O and to inform O&O, in writing, about the third party’s access.
5. Material defect and defect of title
(1) The software package or download you receive is free of any material defect or defect of title.
(2) A material defect exists when the software is unable to be used as described in the documentation appearing on the website http://www.oo-software.com/ and included in delivery or available for downloading.
O&O is constantly checking to make sure that other sources are not misrepresenting the functions and properties of the software as described in the documentation. You can therefore assume that any descriptions beyond those found in the software documentation have not originated with O&O and are also unknown to it. Please inform O&
O if you learn of any software descriptions that include functions and properties not mentioned in the documentation.
(3) Please inform O&O if you learn of any software descriptions that include functions and properties not mentioned in the documentation.
(4) Any claims concerning defects of material and/or title related to the software have a limitation period of two years subsequent to delivery of the program or transmission of the serial number needed for downloading. If you are not a private individual, the warranty period is shortened to one year.
If O&O has fraudulently concealed a material defect, a three year limitation period will cover claims related to this defect.
Payment for compensation that you might have been entitled to as a result of cancelation or an abatement can be refused upon expiration of the limitation period.
(5) You are required to inform O&O, in writing if possible, of any defects that arise immediately upon their discovery. While doing so you should also describe, as well as possible, how the defect is communicated, the effect it has on the program, and under which circumstances it occurs.
(6) Should defects be reported to O&O within the limitation period, it will undertake a cure free of charge.
(7) As part of the cure, the corrected software will be redelivered as agreed. An on-site analysis and correction of the error on your system will not take place.
O&O assumes the ensuing expenses for the cure, in particular the costs for transport, labor, and material. You are personally responsible for installation. O&O specifically does not assume on-site installation as part of its obligation with regard to defects of material or title.
Should a change of the program be required as part of the cure, O&O will make the necessary changes in the documentation without any charges.
(8) After the unsuccessful expiration of a deadline you set for cure, you can cancel the contract or reduce the purchase price and demand compensation instead of service or the replacement of any futile expenditures.
(9) A deadline is not required when a) O&O refuses both kinds of cure, even if it is entitled to do so as a result of the arising expenses or b) the cure is impossible or c) the cure is unacceptable to you or
O&O BlueCon - 52
End user license agreement 3.5 (EULA) d) the cure is unsuccessful.
A subsequent improvement is considered a failure after the second unsuccessful attempt unless there is something particular about the type of software or the defect itself or the surrounding circumstances that would indicate otherwise.
(10) You are not entitled to cancel the contract if the defect is negligible, nor may you, in this event, demand compensation instead of full service.
(11) In the event of cancellation, compensation is due for any uses made. The compensation for use will be based on a four year, straight-line depreciation of the purchase price.
(12) As a result of the abatement, the purchase price will be reduced by the amount which is calculated for deducting the defect from the value of the software. The standard used will be its value at the time the contract was concluded. The amount, when necessary, is to be calculated by estimation. As a result of this reduction, any amount larger than that paid for the reduced purchase price will be refunded.
(13) If it turns out that a reported problem did not arise as a result of a defect in the software, O&O is entitled to invoice you, according to the amount charged in its price lists for such services, the expenses for analysis and correction of the problem if you can be accused of malice or gross negligence.
(14) The seller’s warranty is canceled when changes are made on the software without expressed written consent or when the software is not used as intended or used in an improper software environment, unless you can prove that these facts had nothing to do with the problems that occurred.
6. Limitation of compensation
(1) O&O is liable for compensation for every legal ground to the extent described in the following provisions.
(2) The extent of liability of O&O for damages caused by malice or gross negligence arising from O&O itself or one of its vicarious or legal agents is unlimited.
(3) There is no limit to the extent of liability of O&O or any of its legal or vicarious agents for damages involving injury to life, physical well-being or health, or for simple breach of duty.
(4) There is unlimited liability for damages caused by serious organizational fault on the part of O&O as well as for damages arising from a missing guaranteed characteristic.
(5) For the breach of an essential contractual duty, O&O is liable for damages normally foreseen in a contract when none of the instances in provisions (2) – (4) applies.
(6) Any further liability for compensation is excluded, specifically excluded is liability without fault.
(7) Liability as defined by the product liability law remains untouched.
(8) If damage can be traced to have arisen through a fault on the part of O&O as well as on the part of yourself, you must have your share of the fault evaluated.
You are responsible for making a standard backup of your data at least once a day. For data loss caused by O&O,
O&O is only liable for the expense of duplicating the data on your backup copies that need to be created and for the restoration of data which would have also been lost during a standard backup procedure.
