Display a pseudo-graphical map of used versus free sectors in the filesystem
Display a usage map for the currently selected disk or filesystem A pseudo-graphical map of the disk or partition allocation is displayed, showing the distribution of data over the object This is also an indication for the amount of unused sectors in the object, that are beneficial to 'SMART-SECTOR' optimizations in imaging and cloning operations. The percentage of used sectors are displayed as a percentage at the end of the line, and a total usage percentage and size is shown just after the map itself. For filesystems that support resizing, the limits for resizing are shown after the map itself. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Press <F1> again for more help; Some options may require switching to 'Expert mode'
Display/Edit the standard 11-character label located in the bootsector
This will present a small dialog to display and/or edit the standard (DIR) label, with a maximum length of 11-characters and located in the BOOTSECTOR This standard label is used to identify the filesystem in commands like DIR and FORMAT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Press <F1> again for more help; Some options may require switching to 'Expert mode'
Change the volume serial number, making this volume unique (after clone :-)
This will update the 'volume serial number' in the bootsector This could be REQUIRED for some operating systems after cloning a filesystem, to make sure the volume serial numbers are unique. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Press <F1> again for more help; Some options may require switching to 'Expert mode'
Fix bootsector; No explicit I13X check, works with bootmanagers like GRUB
This will create a new HPFS bootsector for the partition, based on information from the partition-tables and on information found in the superblock and spareblock for the filesystem. This can be very useful when the bootsector got damaged by a virus or a crashing program (writing to sector 0) or if the partition was deleted by accident using FDISK or LVM and recreated again. There will be NO explicit I13X check in the bootcode, which will allow booting beyond cylinder 1024 even with MBR bootcode that is NOT I13X aware (Windows, Linux) and other bootmanagers than IBM's like Linux GRUB or LILO, Acronis OS selector and many more. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Press <F1> again for more help; Some options may require switching to 'Expert mode'
Fix bootsector HiddenSectors and geometry fields to match partition tables
This will update the 'hidden sectors' field in the bootsector to match the offset to the partition-table the partition is defined in and update the geometry Heads and Sectors field to match the current disk geometry. This could be REQUIRED for some operating systems like OS/2 to accept and mount the partition as a driveletter! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Press <F1> again for more help; Some options may require switching to 'Expert mode'
Reset the bad-sector administration to show ZERO bad-sectors or clusters
This will check for bad-sectors being present in the filesystem and when present, reset to NO bad sectors. FAT: Reset all 'BAD' values in the FAT to FREE EFAT: Reset all 'BAD' values in the FAT to FREE NTFS: Update $BadClus and $BitMap to reset bad-clusters HPFS: Make the bad-sector-list in the spare-block empty This can be very useful after cloning or imaging a partition or disk that includes bad-sectors to a new replacement one. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Press <F1> again for more help; Some options may require switching to 'Expert mode'
Update spareblock status flags to indicate filesystem is CLEAN
This will update the fileystem-status field in the HPFS spareblock to indicate that filesystem is CLEAN. This can be useful to avoid an automatic CHKDSK after a system-crash Note: The filesystem itself is NOT cleaned in any way, it is just the statusflag that is modified. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Press <F1> again for more help; Some options may require switching to 'Expert mode'
Update spareblock status flags to indicate filesystem is DIRTY
This will update the fileystem-status field in the HPFS spareblock to indicate that filesystem is DIRTY. This can be useful to force a CHKDSK operation on the next boot. Note: The filesystem itself is NOT affected in any other way, it is just the statusflag that is modified. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Press <F1> again for more help; Some options may require switching to 'Expert mode'

Check filesystem for inconsistencies and errors (Readonly, no fixing!)
This will perform a CHECK of the filesystem, somewhat like the well-known CHKDSK but without automatically fixing anything. The result of the check is a sector-lookup-table (SLT) that contains information about all recognized filesystem areas that are in use. Any error recognized will be flagged in the default display of this SLT that is performed automatically by the CHECK command. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Press <F1> again for more help; Some options may require switching to 'Expert mode'
Unselect filesystem, reselect the same/first disk; enables Mode=FDISK menu
This will UNSELECT the current object/filesystem, and reselect a whole physical disk, either the same disk as the partition was on, or the first disk present in other cases. This is a quick way to change to 'Mode=FDISK' and work on disk-level issues - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Press <F1> again for more help; Some options may require switching to 'Expert mode'
