DFSee version 8.09 has just been released.

There is a 'serial' command to set the volume serial number, and several useful items have been added to the DFSee menu. All buffer handling has been reworked to allow arbitrary sectorsizes (like 4Kb on the new generation harddisks :-)

The new 'Bootmanager menu Delete' in the menu now also gets rid of those annoying '--> LVM' names that sometimes remained on the IBM bootmanager menu.

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