DiskGenius

DiskGenius is a Windows application that contains a set of tools for working with hard disks. You can format partitions, create, delete partitions, recover lost information and much more. A built-in editor is provided.

Scanning

When you open the program, it immediately displays available local drives, partitions and basic information about them on the main screen. You can quickly find out the cluster size, free space size, drive characteristics and so on. To recover information, you need to select the drive and activate the scan. There are several modes, including deep analysis. In the latter case, the scan takes quite a long time, but it provides maximum results, since data signatures are used for searching, among other things. This allows you to restore files to their original form even after formatting or a serious file system failure. After scanning, it is possible to sort files by certain criteria. This is convenient if you need to retrieve only certain types of files, such as personal photos or important documents (just specify the extension). To check the result, a preview mode is provided, which allows you to make sure that the file structure is restored correctly.

Working with sections

All necessary operations with logical partitions are available - merge, format, delete. There are tools for creating backups and images from different drives. More experienced users can use the capabilities of the built-in hex editor. The module allows you to manually correct data in the file system table.
