DFSee version 9.00 has been released today, a new MAJOR release!

A real improvement in this release is contents based disk geometry 
detection, which helps with removable media on any platform, and with new 
Linux kernels (avoiding tons of warnings)

Then there are improvements in smart-imaging and cloning, supporting 
support more filesystems now and many other enhancements and fixes.

Finally, the HEX editor now includes an intel x86 disassembler to analyse 
bootsectors, bootmanagers or any other code you like  :-)


DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning, filesystem 
and disk analysis, file recovery, UNDELETE for HPFS JFS, and NTFS, resizing 
and smart imaging or cloning.
