I do not know PC Tools, apart from what wiki said... so i tried searching for related apps and found this.... I don't know if it will help.... sorry if it doesn't....

sorry no, it doesn't...

This is just one of the gazillion useless programs which do nothing more than automatically scanning for file entries in the file table. That is completely useless for me.

I need a disk editor, NOT a recovery/unformat/undelete/whatever tool. There is nothing wrong with the hard disk. I just need to grab data from the hard disk taking in account used (or rather, not-used) sectors.

Any of these look good?
