DFSee version 8.10 has just been released.

The pressing reason for the release is a nasty bug in the FIXEXT command in version 8.09, which would wipe out the MBR sector.

However, the main new functionality in 8.10 is the ability to cope with sectors larger than the standard 512 bytes in a reliable way ...


DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning, filesystem
and disk analysis, file recovery, UNDELETE for HPFS, JFS, and NTFS,
resizing, imaging, cloning and sector editing.
