MBRtool 2.3.100
A DOS program designed to backup, restore and manipulate hard disk MBR. more>> MBRtool is a DOS program designed to backup, restore and manipulate your hard disk MBR.
The MBR could easily be seen as one of the most important sectors on the disk. If anything happens to the contents of this sector, the data on your disk could be unreachable. Or the computer might simply not start anymore.
MBRtool is not an automatic recovery program but will allow users to prevent data loss (due to MBR corruption) by backing up the MBR, and offers power users all the power theyll ever need to mess with their MBR.
New: the MBRtool download now includes an easy to use boot diskette builder that will assist you in creating a diskette or bootable CD/DVD.
MBRtool is Freeware.
MBRtool features include:
- Backup, verify and restore the MBR
- Backup, restore, wipe and clean track 0
- Edit or blank the MBR partition table
- Refresh, remove MBR boot code
- Write MBR signature bytes
- Display MBR to screen or dump to file
- Do all this for either the original MBR or backups
- Create blank backup files
- Change partition attributes (active, hidden)
- Manipulate NT/2000/XP disk admin signature
Notes:
- New version released on April 17th, 2007:
now includes a boot diskette builder!
- MBRtool can be operated through a menu as well as through command line arguments
- If operated through command line, return codes can be used in your batch files
- Supports the first 4 hard disks in the system<<less

EasyBCD - EasyBCD is a powerful bootloader modification tool created to give end users complete control over everything that happens while Windows Vista starts up. It has the ability to set up multi- and dual-boot profiles for Windows Vista + Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and many more operating systems. With EasyBCD, users can quickly and easily get other operating systems up and running with Windows Vista with minimal pain and effort.
EasyBCD allows users to backup and restore Vista bootloader settings (damage control), create automated MBR backups, add and remove entries from the Vista bootloader, change the BCD timeout period, rename entries, change the drives they point to, disable Windows Vista x64 driver signature checks, enable/disable NoExecute, PAE, and Debug mode for Windows.
With the ability to limit the amount of CPU and Memory available to the OS, EasyBCD becomes the first and most efficient line of defense when setting up a Windows Vista system - all the changes are done *before* Vista boots and are inivisible to the operating system and the programs on it.
EasyBCD is the only bootloader on the planet that gives end users full control over anything and everything that happens before their operating system boots, and supports more operating systems than any other bootloader on the planet.
With EasyBCD, users can configure Windows Vista to boot into Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, ReactOS, SkyOS, OS/2, Unix, Dos, legacy versions of Windows, alpha versions of Windows Longhorn, and even Windows Server 2000, 2003, and Longhorn with a single click of a button - absoloutely painless...... and free!

BOOTSave 2.8
BootSave saves/restores the master boot sector on the hard disk. Suite of three utilities BootSave, BootRest and BootChk more>>
BootSave saves/restores the master boot sector on the
hard disk. Suite of three utilities BootSave, BootRest and
BootChk. Protects against damage to the partition table or
boot sector done by rogue programs, viruses or accidents
with tools like Norton NU.
The BootSave suite will work under DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows
95/98/ME, OS/2, but not NT, Windows 2000, XP, Vista or Windows 7.
These OSes block low level disk I/O as a security measure.
You should temporarily boot from a DOS diskette to save or
restore. You can save the boot record under Win2K/XP (but
not Vista) but you must boot under DOS to do the restore.
This version does NOT save the boot sectors for each
individual partition, just the MBR (master boot record) that
contains the primary booting code, and the partition
information for the four primary partitions. Have a look at
Acronis or Boot-It for a complete backup.
You must use
BootSave PRIOR to damaging your hard disk to be of any use!
System Requirements: DOS system boot disk for recovery
Enhancements: improved documentation

TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.8 Beta
TestDisk is a tool to check and undelete partitions more>>
TestDisk is a free and useful program which queries the BIOS ( DOS/Win9x) or the OS ( Linux, FreeBSD) in order to find the Hard Disks and their characteristics ( LBA size and CHS geometry). TestDisk does a quick check of your disks structure and compares it with your Partition Table for entry errors. If the Partition Table has entry errors, TestDisk can repair them. If you have missing partitions or a completely empty Partition Table, TestDisk can search for partitions and create a new Table or even a new MBR if necessary.
However, its up to the user to look over the list of possible partitions found by TestDisk and to select the one(s) which were being used just before the drive failed to boot or the partition(s) were lost. In some cases, especially after initiating a detailed search for lost partitions, TestDisk may show partition data which is simply from the remnants of a partition that had been deleted and overwritten long ago.
TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. For those who know little or nothing about data recovery techniques, the command line parameters /log and /debug can be used to collect detailed information about a non-booting drive which can then be sent to a tech for further analysis. Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.
TestDisk can find lost partitions for all of these file systems:
- BeFS ( BeOS )
- BSD disklabel ( FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD )
- CramFS, Compressed File System
- DOS/Windows FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32
- HFS and HFS+, Hierarchical File System
- JFS, IBMs Journaled File System
- Linux Ext2 and Ext3
- Linux Raid
- RAID 1: mirroring
- RAID 4: striped array with parity device
- RAID 5: striped array with distributed parity information
- RAID 6: striped array with distributed dual redundancy information
- Linux Swap (versions 1 and 2)
- LVM and LVM2, Linux Logical Volume Manager
- Mac partition map
- Novell Storage Services NSS
- NTFS ( Windows NT/2K/XP/2003 )
- ReiserFS 3.5, 3.6 and 4
- Sun Solaris i386 disklabel
- Unix File System UFS and UFS2 (Sun/BSD/...)
- XFS, SGIs Journaled File System
