DiskRead v3.4 Release Notes

Welcome to the latest release of DiskRead! This version introduces several new features, additional flags, and various improvements.

New features

Starting with DiskRead v3.2, DiskRead includes the capability of writing (exporting) to a device file, including boot sectors. This powerful capability comes with potential risks, and the creator is not liable for any damages caused by misuse.

Caution

Exporting to a device file with a boot sector can permanently damage your system. The creator is not responsible for any damages caused by improper tool use. Exercise caution when using this feature.

Additional flags

  • -u or --uppercase: Display hexadecimal values in uppercase.
  • -x or --hexadecimal: Only display the hexadecimal representation.
  • -y or --yes: Skip confirmation prompts when exporting to a device file.

Warning

Using the -y flag is strongly discouraged outside of automated scripts due to the potential for irreversible damage to devices and drives.

Other changes

  • Minor bug and crash fixes have been implemented to enhance stability and performance.

Usage Recommendations

For 64-bit systems, it is recommended to use diskread.exe. If you are using a legacy 32-bit system or Windows XP, opt for diskread_x86.exe.

Feel free to create an issue or a pull request if you encounter any bugs or have suggestions. Your contributions are highly appreciated. Refer to the documentation for detailed information on using the new features and flags effectively.
