DMDE is a powerful software for data searching, editing, and recovery on disks. It may recover directory structure and files in some complicated cases through the use of special algorithms when other software can't help. The software is listed, reviewed, and awarded in magazines and catalogs.
DMDE has a number of freeware features such as disk editor, simple partition manager (e.g. allows partition undeleting), a tool to create disk images and clones, RAID constructor, file recovery from the current panel. Paid editions support file and directory recovery without the restriction, DMDE Professional Edition has additional features to recover data for clients (compare editions).
DMDE supports NTFS, FAT12/16, FAT32, exFAT, Ext2/3/4, and works under Windows 98/..XP/..7/..10 (GUI and Console), DOS (Console), Linux (Terminal).
Algorithms of thorough search and analysis effectively reconstruct directory structure and recover files after some complex file system damages (such as format, partition manager failure, and other). It is possible to find data quickly without a full scan in the case of minor filesystem damage.
Data recovery by file signatures (RAW-recovery) is added to cover cases when recovery by file system is not possible.
Simple partition manager finds and restores accidentally removed partitions using information from boot sectors of FAT, NTFS, exFAT, and superblocks of Ext2/3/4, and from their backup copies. Partitioning is displayed in the form useful for analysis and error detection.
Disk editor is compatible with the most recent Windows versions and supports automatic volume locking during writing to volume areas. With the disk editor you can view, edit, and navigate through files and different disk structures (such as MBR, GPT, boot sectors, file tables, and directory entries of file systems), use custom templates. Cluster map allows finding files occupying specified clusters or sectors.
Disk clone feature includes creating, writing images back to disk, disk cloning, and supports handling of I/O errors (bad sectors).
NTFS utilities allow you to copy, delete files, create, repair, remove directories bypassing NTFS driver.
DMDE supports national file names, large disks, large files, large sectors, sector translation, compressed NTFS files, and other specific features.
DMDE is portable and runs just after extracting.
