(Current version is: 10.1, released 1-Januari-2010)

To improve usability, bootable solutions are offered like a bootable CDROM, USB-stick and diskette-image. These have the big advantage that they can be used for recovery tasks on systems that support booting from CD, USB or diskette, without the need to install anything on the (possibly damaged) harddisk. DFSee is available on a bootable CDROM for a small additional cost compared to the standard version, which include the registration-key on the CD-ROM. These bootable media are based on FreeDOS and Linux with user supplied additions.

DFSee bootable USB stick

This is a very flexible solution, based on some excellent work from the linux community allowing booting almost any (CDROM) ISO file stored on a memory-stick from a selection menu. The DFSee solution uses this UNCHANGED, you just add a Linux ISO (PartedMagic), the DFSee CD-ISO and linux files to the stick and are ready to boot into FreeDOS or Linux and use DFSee.

You can create your own custom stick in any size using the instructions supplied on the PenDriveLinux website (which requires a Windows system to make the stick bootable), or you can restore the DFSee prepared DFSee USB stick imagefile to a stick with DFSee itself, then add the additional required files.

This ZIP includes instructions for creating the memory stick.

When setup properly the stick provides a boot-menu with:

• Boot to the DOS-version of DFSee, with access to the stick to store files
• Boot to a Linux KDE desktop, with a DFSee icon to start DFSee, access to the stick and many other Linux programs including network and internet access.

Again, instructions on how to use the stick are included in the ZIP.

DFSee 10.x bootable CDROM

The perfect recovery solution!

With a bootable FreeDOS and DFSDOS available, it can be used for recovery tasks without having to install anything!

The CD includes a unique PERMANENT registration-key based on the email address used on ordering, similar to the keys generated for the electronic delivery products. Your CDROM will be burnt on demand, at the moment you order it, so you will always receive the latest available DFSee version.

Buy the CDROM here or just click on the large CDROM image ...

If you have no DFSee registration yet, just buy the complete CDROM version that includes the standard registration.

Only if you already have a 10.x registration, you can get the CDROM for existing users.
So when ordering this, make sure that:

• You HAVE ordered a relevant DFSee 10.x registration through Mensys earlier
• You use the SAME EMAIL address or same FULL name on the CDROM order

If you have an older registration, get the 10.x CDROM at the lowest cost by:

• Buying the regular upgrade from 4.xx upto 10-1.x to 10.x (electronic delivery)
• Shortly after that, buy the CDROM update for existing 10.x users, this is for the PHYSICAL distribution of the genuine CD only.
  If you can burn CDROMs yourself, you can also download the ISO file for FREE, and create your own CDROM. (See below)

DFSee bootable CDROM, ISO image

If you are a registred 10.x user, and you can burn your own CD's, this might be the best recovery solution for you.

This is a ZIP file with the latest ISO image for the bootable CDROM, plus a small program that is used to add your existing registration key to this image.
Instructions to use this program and burn the CDR are included in the ZIP file as well.

The bare ISO image contains a temporary key, expiring about 60 days after release. If you have a registration, it is advised to burn the ISO to a CD after adding your own key with the supplied utility.

DFSee bootable diskette image

For evaluation, or simply to get a nice bootable recovery solution, this image will get you a bootable FreeDOS diskette with DFSDOS.
If you are a registred DFSee user, you can add your key, otherwise you can use the diskette for evaluation purposes only.

This is a ZIP file with a self-extracting diskette-image (Thanks to Daniel Valot).
It can be extracted on any platform capable of running DOS or OS2 textmode executables.
Simply run the enclosed 'bootdisk.exe' and it will write to a (formatted) diskette,
or use 'bootdisk /h' for other usage ...
