OpenComputing Leopard Restore Disk

Psystar is now shipping restore media to Open Computing customers at no cost. The restore media is different for different configurations of Open Computers (based on operating systems) and are outlined below:

  • Customers who purchased Open Computing products with Windows XP/Vista/2003/2008 already have full restore capabilities with their OS CDs which are included with their computers. We will, however, send a Linux-based live-CD distribution called SystemRescueCD which supports a wide range of restore capabilities and can read Windows drives in the event that you need a simple graphical environment to recover files and cannot boot into windows.
  • Customers who purchased Open Computing products with Linux will receive a copy of the "flavor" of Linux's installation CD or DVD which their configured their system to have installed by default, a copy of the installation media for any other Linux distribution that we offer, or Finnix which is like a sysadmins swiss-army knife that we like.
  • Customers who purchased Open Computing products with Leopard will receive a restore disc which will
    • allow them to reinstall their OS directly from the Leopard DVD included with their computer
    • allow them to boot into the service console
We strive to improve your (our customer's) computing experience and hope that these tools may assist you in hopefully few (if any) dark times.
