| The DiskPatch setup includes boot disk builders, so getting started with running DiskPatch is quite easy.
Simply follow the wizard to create a bootable USB disk or a bootable diskette. Select the appropriate boot disk builder from the DiskPatch program group. |
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 surface scan you can detect problem areas and even repair them (sector reallocation). By running the non-destructive 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. | |
