A happy 2018 without too much disk problems to all of you on the list!


DFSee version 14.11 has been released.

MINOR release, meaning you get it for FREE if you have a 14.x key already.

It has a few refinements for browsing, cloning bad-sector disks,
detection of removable disks on Linux and using the known Linux disk-name
plus some minor bug fixes and enhancements


Note: Version 14.8 (or later) users can update directly using the menu:

Help->
Program Updates / Downloads ->
Get latest STABLE update

(Works with the OS/2, Windows, Linux and macOS versions too, if WGET is there)




DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,
smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks,
filesystem and disk analysis, directory/file browsing with
edit/view/copy capabilities including limited UNDELETE.
