DIY DataRecovery DiskPatch: screenshots
|
|
|
 |
This is where you start.
From Windows, the boot disk builder will create a diskette or CD/DVD for
you that will run DiskPatch. Simple and convenient. |
The DiskPatch physical disk selection dialog.
Before you can scan, copy or wipe a disk, you always need to select a
physical disk first.
For each physical disk the size in sectors, the size in GigaBytes (GB) and
the geometry details are displayed.
If a disk was scanned earlier a state file can be loaded.
|
 |
 |
To simplify the selection process DiskPatch will lend you a hand:
> For each partition start positions and sizes are displayed.
> Through a context menu, additional information like the partition's
Volume label can be displayed.
> Once you have selected a partition DiskPatch will mark the partitions that
can co-exist with that partition, to help you determine what the most
likely partition layout was.
|
For each partition found,
DiskPatch can display additional properties:
> which components have been found for that particular
partition. The more, the better the chance for recovery;
> a recovery prognosis is determined based on what
components were found;
> the partition type and details are automatically
determined;
> the Volume Label is particularly useful for identifying
partitions. |
 |
 |
Additional tools are available for power users. These tools
may also be employed by the user to perform specific repairs:
> The built-in disk editor allows you to view, edit and patch any disk
sector anywhere on your hard disk.
> For partition tables and FAT, FAT32, NTFS boot sectors templates are
available for easy viewing and editing.
|
| The partition table editor template simplifies
editing partition tables and minimizes the risk of making
mistakes.
|
 |
 |
Templates for editing boot sectors (FAT, FAT32 and
NTFS)
can be used to simplify viewing and editing.
|
All the power you need to get your hands dirty!
View, edit and patch any sector anywhere on the hard disk in raw Hex or
ASCII format. |

 |
Read and/or write errors are a common cause for all kinds of
problems, ranging from not being able to open a file to entire disks
becoming inaccessible.
Using the read/write surface scan you can detect problem areas and even
repair them (sector reallocation).
By running the non-destructive read/write surface scan you can verify that
all
sectors of the disk can be read from and written to, without losing your
data!
You can run surface scans per partition or for the entire disk.
|
use DiskPatch to do simple boot management:
you can set partitions active/inactive and hide/unhide them.
