Tools for backup and recovery of partition tables Disk Genius use details page 1/4

DISKMAN, known as the partition superman, has launched its second version of Disk Genius. Its functions are based on the original 1.2 and have powerful sharing maintenance functions. Let's take a look at the functions.

There are many hard disk partitioning tools available now, but they are basically "foreign products". Only DISKMAN, known as the partition superman, is a genuine domestic product. DISKMAN is loved by novices for its intuitive and simple operation, but in the past two years, the DISKMAN version has been stuck in V1.2, and the author has never released an upgraded version, which makes people worry about it. Now, the 2.0 version of DISKMAN has finally appeared, and it is still free software, but the name has been changed to Disk Genius. After nearly two years of dedicated "cultivation", Disk Genius's "skill" is indeed unspeakable. It not only provides basic hard disk partitioning functions (such as establishing, activating, deleting, and hiding partitions), but also has powerful partition maintenance functions (such as partition table backup and recovery, partition parameter modification, hard disk master boot record repair, reconstruction of partition tables, etc.); in addition, it also has practical functions such as partition formatting, partition lossless adjustment, hard disk surface scanning, sector copying, and thorough clearing of sector data. Although Disk Genius is more powerful, its figure is still "slim", only 143KB.
