Selkie Rescue protects your data from accidental deletion by allowing you read-only access from the Working Computer through your Transfer Utility to the original files. Once you have recovered your files and they are copied onto the Working Computer, you have all your work on a system that is operational.

Selkie Rescue was designed for inexperienced computer users as well as experienced technicians. It has two modes of operation, Basic and Advanced. In Basic Mode the user only needs to know the Network Name of the computer used to rescue data files. If you don’t know the Network Name or it doesn' t exist, Selkie Rescue will automatically create one. Selkie Rescue takes care of everything else. In Advanced Mode the person using the software has almost total control over how Selkie Rescue operates. The user can avoid malfunctioning hardware and specify exactly how the Working Computer and Selkie Rescue will communicate.

To use Selkie Rescue the broken computer must be networked, or connected, with a working computer. The Transfer Utility should be installed on the Working Computer (the one receiving the files). If it is not, take a minute to install it using the CD. If your broken computer is not networked, see the User's Manual in your Start Menu or online for help setting up a direct connection. To use Selkie, start up (boot) your broken computer using the Selkie Rescue CD2, reading the screens. Hit Enter until you can choose your Workgroup Name. Keep hitting Enter until it tells you to go to the Working Computer and run the Transfer Utility. Follow the on-screen instructions to copy the files you select to the Working Computer. You're done.

Selkie Rescue is fast and safe. All other methods for getting data take time and risk that the data will be lost when the computer is taken apart to access the files. Selkie Rescue is incredibly simple to use.

This means it can run even on a system with a faulty video card; if the card can perform at a minimal level, Selkie Rescue can use it.
