Creating ideantical 1:1 copies of hard disks and other media. For data rescue, backup, system restore, mass installations and many more...

HDClone copies the complete contents of hard disks and other IDE/ATA/SATA, SCSI, and USB media on a physical level. This allows to create even backups or copies of complete operating system installations smoothly. In combination with the special 'SafeRescue' mode of HDClone, this technique is also perfect for rescuing data in case of defective hard disks. Furthermore, HDClone works independent of partition layout, file system and operating system. Thus, it also works with proprietary data formats which could not be accessed otherwise. Besides copying complete drives, it is also possible to apply it to certain partitions only.

HDClone Free Edition supports IDE/ATA/SATA hard disks and is able to copy up to 300 MB/min.

Για ναγίνει έλεγχος στα pixel μιας TFT μπορούμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε αυτό το freeware πρόγραμμα....

TFT screens have thousands of pixels, on a 1024x768 monitor, there are three cells for each pixel - one each for red, green, and blue - which amounts to nearly 2.4 million cells (1024x768x 3 = 2,359,296). There's only a slim chance that all of these will be perfect; more likely, some will be stuck on (creating a "bright" defect) or dead (resulting in a "dark" defect). DPT was written to help me check my own screens (Couldn't find one that worked across multiple desktops so had to write my own!) by cycling through the three primary colours used (red,green,blue) and all on (white) and all off (black). Simply select a colour then closely inspect your monitor in each of the primary colours checking for pixels that are not operating as expected. Stuck pixels (always on) are easier to noticed then pixels that are not on due to their size (normally under .5mm). This application is freely distributable for non commercial gain, for any other usage please contact us.

Allway Sync searches for the latest version of a file in specified folders and copies it to another folder, i.e. synchronizes them. Unlike other file sync tools that just copy files with the most recent modification time, Allway Sync uses a reliable algorithm that does not depend on system clock accuracy. This synchronizer is fast, safe and stable. Allway Sync is easy-to-use and free for personal use

Summary

TestDisk queries the BIOS or the OS in order to find the Hard Disks and their characteristics ( LBA size and CHS geometry). TestDisk does a quick check of your disk's structure and compares it with your Partition Table for entry errors. If the Partition Table has entry errors, TestDisk can repair them. If you have missing partitions or a completely empty Partition Table, TestDisk can search for partitions and create a new Table or even a new MBR if necessary.

However, it's up to the user to look over the list of possible partitions found by TestDisk and to select the one(s) which were being used just before the drive failed to boot or the partition(s) were lost. In some cases, especially after initiating a detailed search for lost partitions, TestDisk may show partition data which is simply from the remnants of a partition that had been deleted and overwritten long ago.

TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. For those who know little or nothing about data recovery techniques, TestDisk can be used to collect detailed information about a non-booting drive which can then be sent to a tech for further analysis. Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.

Επειδή αρκετοί έχουν δημιουργήσει προβληματα με το RAID που στήνουν ή αλλάζουν κατα καιρούς υπάρχει το παρακάτω πρόγραμμα που ίσως βοηθήσει...

Runtime's RAID Reconstructor will help you to recover data from broken

RAID Level 5 Array consisting of 3 to 14 drives

RAID Level 0 Array (Striping) consisting of 2 drives

Even if you do not know the RAID parameters, such as drive order, block size and direction of rotation, RAID Reconstructor will analyze your drives and determine the correct values. You will then be able to create a copy of the reconstructed RAID in an image file or on a physical drive.

Once you created an image you can use it for further data recovery processing with Runtime's GetDataBack. If you create the image on another physical drive, you can process it with GetDataBack too or you might even be able to directly boot from it.

RAID Reconstructor is Read-Only

It will not try to "fix" your RAID. It will merely create a copy of your RAID at another location. It will collect sector by sector from each single drive involved and write these sectors in the correct order to the designated destination. This process is also called "de-striping".

Because one drive is redundant in RAID 5, it is sufficient to have one less than the original number of drives (N) in the array. RAID Reconstructor can recalculate the original data from the N-1 drives. For a RAID-0 (striped) array you will need both drives.

The RAID Reconstructor will recover both, hardware and software RAIDs. It will recover from broken Windows Dynamic Disk sets.

You can run RAID Reconstructor from a WinPE boot CD-Rom.

Take advantage of the scripting feature in RAID Reconstructor V3.00Based on the PASCAL programming language, scripts allow you to access your drives and process them with all the elements available in a higher programming language. For more information please refer to the build-in help file in the software.

RAID Reconstructor V3.01

Free Updates: Licensed users are entitled to free lifetime updates.

Price: 30-day trial, $99 to purchase it

System Requirements:

Pentium processor

32 MB Ram

Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 or XP

Disk controller card capable of handling all the drives in your RAID individually

Storage space for holding the reconstructed RAID

Αν δεν ξέρετε τι τρέχει στον Η/Υ σας...

Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded. The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you�ll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you�ll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.

The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work.

Process Explorer works on Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Server 2003, and 64-bit versions of Windows for x64 processors.

Αν κάποιο αρχείο δεν σβήνει με τίποτα γιατί κάποιο process το κρατάει ενεργό τότε υπάρχει η παρακάτω λύση σε ένα μικρό open source προγραμμα....

DelLater is the ideal program to use when you can't delete a file, no matter how hard you try. This is usually because an active process has an open handle to the file which prevents it from being deleted. Normally if you close down all running programs you'll find that most files will then be free to delete, but that's not always the case, and in some cases it may even be a trojan that's preventing itself from being deleted.

To DelLater A File... 1. Run dellater.exe <filename> 2. Reboot (whenever you like). That's all that's required. After rebooting and logging in you'll be able to see that the file you specified is no longer there.

2 Καλύτερο ελεύθερο λογισμικό αντιιkών

Υπάρχουν δύο ίσες συστάσεις σε αυτήν την κατηγορία. Πρώτα υπάρχει to AVGse ( ελεύθερη έκδοση ) έκδοση 7.0. Αυτό το προϊόν [ 1 ] έχει βελτιωθεί συνεχώς δεδομένου ότι απελευθερώθηκε αρχικά το 1991 και προσφέρει τώρα πολύ εντυπωσιακές ικανότητες προστασίας. Επιπλέον, είναι σχετικά μικρό, δεσμεύει λίγους πόρους, έχει κανονικές αυτόματες αναβαθμίσεις και χειρίζεται την ανίχνευση ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου. Υπάρχει μια ελεύθερη και εμπορική έκδοση, η μόνη διαφορά που είναι ότι η ελεύθερη έκδοση δεν έχει μερικά μη κρίσιμα χαρακτηριστικά και δεν έχει καμία άμεση τεχνική υποστήριξη. Ακόμα κι έτσι, είναι μια εντυπωσιακή συσκευασία και προσφέρει οικονομικά μια πραγματική εναλλακτική λύση αντιικών. Εξίσου εντυπωσιακό είναι το ελεύθερο Avast! scanner [ 2 ] αν και έχει λίγο "περίεργο " Interface. Στο Avast! επίσης είναι απαραίτητη περιοδική επανεγγραφή ενώ στο AVG όχι. Μια πιθανή τρίτη επιλογή είναι AntiVir [ 3 ]. Προσφέρει ελαφρώς καλύτερα ποσοστά ανίχνευσης είτε από AVG είτε από Avast! αλλά η έλλειψη ανίχνευσης ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου αποτελεί μείον. Εντούτοις είναι η τέλεια επιλογή ως δεύτερος ανιχνευτής. Εάν το χρησιμοποιείτε σε αυτόν τον ρόλο, σιγουρευτείτε ότι θέτετε εκτός λειτουργίας το κύριο πρόγραμμα κατά την εγκατάστάση.
