Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2004 11:24:13 -0500 From: madodel at ptdprolog.net Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: DFSee version 6.17 released From: "Jan van Wijk" DFSee version 6.17 has been released today with menu enhancements and a bug-fix in CR to allow correct COPYING of primary partitions. DFSee is the SWISS-ARMY-KNIFE for disk and filesystem problems. With FDISK-like displays, analysis and recovery, FIX commands, UNDELETE for HPFS/NTFS, imaging and cloning. More details at: http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee.htm Direct download links: http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/dfsee6xx.zip http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/dfsee617.zip http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=dfsee Just the 'dfsee' Linux distribution with documentation: http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee/dfsee6xx_linux.tgz Several "SMALL package" ZIPs are available now per platform: http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee.htm#dfseedos http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee.htm#dfseeos2 and so on ... Most important functional changes since 6.16: - MENU Add BACKUP/RESTORE partition info items to Mode=FDISK - MENU Set partition -> ACTIVE/HIDDEN/VISIBLE in Mode=FDISK - MENU Complete partition view (part -r -s) added to Display - MENU Display Related sectors N/U/X/T/D/A added to Display - MENU WIPE current sector(s) to ZEROES, for selective wiping - MENU HPFS find FNODE by PATH for specified file/directory - PRESTORE * restores to SAME disk as file, if extension present - CR -at: Fixed primary partition -at:3f,s exact location bug - MOVE -c NO auto-install of image (DFSIBMGR) over fresh copy - Progress to STDIO only with -G switch on EXE (OEM batch GUI) - SIM Fixed default unit being MiB for the -m:n option - SIM/WIPE Better error handling on disk-full conditions Note: There is a design change in the Linux 2.6 kernel for disk-translation that affects many disk-tools including DFSee. The effect is that the geometry used will be DIFFERENT from what the BIOS uses. Using disk-tools (including Suse 9.1 and Fedore core-2 install!) that are not aware of these changes may lead to problems on multi-boot systems. (Windows not booting, OS/2 or eCS loosing LVM info) Creating partitions using DFSee, then PSAVE before installing Linux allows you to get Linux installed, and a PRESTORE after installation will make the other operating systems happy again ... PSAVE and PRESTORE is quite easy now: Mode=FDISK -> BACKUP partition info -> All disks Mode=FDISK -> RESTORE partition info ... Enjoy!
