DMDE - DM Disk Editor and Data Recovery Software 4.0.0.800

DMDE is a powerful tool for data searching, editing, and recovery on disks. It may recover directory structure and files in some complicated cases through the use of special algorithms when other software can't help. The application is listed, reviewed, and awarded in magazines and catalogs.

DMDE has a number of freeware features such as disk editor, simple partition manager (e.g. allows partition undeleting), a tool to create disk images and clones, RAID constructor, file recovery from the current panel. Paid editions support file and directory recovery without the restriction, DMDE Professional Edition has additional features to recover data for clients (compare editions).

DMDE supports NTFS, FAT12/16, FAT32, exFAT, Ext2/3/4, HFS+/HFSX, ReFS, APFS, btrfs and runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, DOS.

Algorithms of thorough search and analysis effectively reconstruct directory structure and recover files after some complex file system damages (such as format, partition manager failure, and other). It is possible to find data quickly without a full scan in the case of minor filesystem damage.

Data recovery by file signatures (Raw-recovery) is added to cover cases when recovery by file system is not possible.

Simple partition manager finds and restores accidentally removed partitions using information from boot sectors/superblocks of FAT, NTFS, exFAT, Ext2/3/4, HFS, and from their backup copies. Partitioning is displayed in the form useful for analysis and error detection.

Disk editor is compatible with the most recent Windows versions and supports automatic volume locking during writing to volume areas. With the disk editor you can view, edit, and navigate through files and different disk structures (such as MBR, GPT, boot sectors, file tables, and directory entries of file systems), use custom templates. Cluster map allows finding files occupying specified clusters or sectors.

DMDE ScreeshotRAID constructor is a tool to virtually reconstruct RAID supporting RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-4, RAID-5, RAID-6, as well as custom striping, delayed parity, JBOD/spanned disks, automatic detection of RAID configurations.

Disk clone feature includes creating, writing images back to disk, disk cloning, and supports handling of I/O errors (bad sectors).

NTFS utilities allow you to copy, delete files, create, repair, remove directories bypassing NTFS driver.

DMDE supports national file names, large disks, large files, large sectors, sector translation, compressed NTFS files, and other specific features.

DMDE is portable and runs just after extracting.

System Requirements:

Windows 2K+ (2K/XP/Vista/7/higher)
Recommended: Windows XP + SP2 and higher
32-bit versions work in both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
Administrator privileges
Drives: supported by OS
For drives larger than 2TB, Windows Vista/7/higher is required with the most recent versions of controller drivers installed
For drives larger than 128GB in Windows 2K/XP certain ServicePacks must be installed (Windows 2K SP4 and Windows XP SP2) and LBA48 support must be switched on in the system registry of Windows 2K. Windows 2K/XP does not support drives larger than 2TB with the exception of special XP-compatible USB-boxes

Windows 98/ME
Drives: supported by OS
Attention! Windows 9x/ME handles 128GB and larger drives incorrectly unless special patches are installed. You may reload computer in MS-DOS mode and use DOS version to access drives via BIOS or ATA-interface

Linux
OS: Latest Linux distributions with libc library
32-bit shared libraries to run 32-bit versions on 64-bit Linux (e.g. libc6-i386 package)
Drives: supported by OS
Superuser rights
Root terminal or emulator (xterm, Konsole, Gnome-Terminal, etc.) for console version, or gtk2.0 library for GUI version
utf-8 locale support

MacOS
OS: macOS 10.12+
Administrator privileges
Drives: supported by OS, see Installation and Run

DOS
OS: MS-DOS 5.0+ compatible
Drives: supported by BIOS or supported by DOS (using ASPI drivers) or supporting ATA-interface (IDE or SATA). SATA disks must be switched to IDE-compatible mode in BIOS for direct ATA-access
DOS Extender (file CWSDPMI.EXE © 2000 CW Sandmann in the software directory is enough)
At least 200 KB of low memory free
At least 64 MB of extended memory
For extended name duplicates handling during data recovery long name driver is required (e.g., DOSLFN.COM © Haftman software)
If you wish to use a mouse then mouse driver for DOS is required
