Freeware Active@Disk Editor V.7 Software From LSoft Technologies

LSoft Technologies, Inc. launched version 7 of its freeware Active@Disk Editor software, a program for viewing and editing individual sectors on physical HDDs and disk images.

New in this edition includes additional templates for XFS and ReFS file systems, a better optimized interface for high-resolution displays, improved navigation and search and overhauled installers for Linux users.

Active@Disk Editor provides everything to view and edit low-level drive information in hexadecimal, ASCII and Unicode. More conveniently, any modifications in one pane will be automatically synchronized with the other two panes so that data is always up to date.

Active@Disk Editor provides an enhanced template mode that shows parsed records of key areas on the HDD, such as master boot records and superblocks on Ext2, Ext3, XFS and ReFS-formatted drives. The program also displayed detailed MFT record information and uses color coding to help you visualize the data. Tooltips are also provided to help you make sense out of each sector.

One of the benefits of Active@Disk Editor is its search functions. Supporting fast navigational points, bookmarking, inspection and search within user-defined blocks, it’s much easier to navigate through the data without getting lost among all the ones and zeros.
