HDHacker is a stand-alone micro-util that saves, visualizes, restores the MBR (from a physical drive), the BootSector (from a logical drive) or any sector from a disk too. It can be used, for example, to save and restore a particular boot manager (as LILO, for example) in case of a Windows new setup (that, obviously, overwrites it) or for simple precautionary purposes too.
DiskPatch Partition Repair is a powerful DOS utility that helps to recover (undelete) deleted partitions and logical disks on PC hard drives, repair boot sectors, run surface tests (repair bad sectors), wipe disks or selected partitions and even clone bad disks. Also back up the hard disk layout: MBR (Master Boot Record), partition tables, boot sectors, or even the LDM on Dynamic disks.
