Polish developer Zbigniew Konojacki, the creator of the independently-developed 4MLinux computer operating system, informed Softpedia today about the release of 4MRecover 21.0 Beta.

Based on the upcoming 4MLinux 21.0 distribution, which should be out in spring 2017, this Beta release of the 4MRecover 21.0 Live CD ships with the latest TestDisk 7.0 and QPhotoRec 7.0 software, which can be used for recovering lost partitions or photos from damaged disk drives or SD cards of all types and sizes.

"4MRecover is a small Live CD designed for data recovery. It's a part of 4MRescueKit, which in turn is one of the three main 4MLinux releases available for download," said Zbigniew Konojacki in the release announcement. "This version includes TestDisk 7.0 and it uses 4MLinux 21.0 as the base system."

As noted by the developer above, the 4MRecover Live CD is usually distributed as part of his 4MRescueKit project, which also includes the well-known Antivirus Live CD, BakAndImgCD, and 4MParted Live CDs. All these can be used independently of the operating system installed on the target computer.

If you want to take the Beta release of 4MRecover 21.0 for a test drive, you can download the ISO image right now from our website. To use it, you must first write the ISO on either a USB flash drive or a CD disc. Please try to keep in mind though that it's still a pre-release version, so don't use it for production work.
