Hello Gents,
I made a small freeware app that allows one to clone a drive (physical or logical) to/from another drive or image.
On top of that the tool can :
-save/restore the MBR or BS,
-delete the layout of the drive,
-wipe with 0's,
-create a raw image file,
-make a vmdk/vhd from a raw image file to boot your cloned disk in vmware,
-do various operations on the registry around booting,
-format any device to fat16/fat32/ntfs/exfat/udf (includig usb pen),
-read faulty devices (with bad sectors for instance),
-perform speed tests,
-edit the partition table, view the boot sector ,
-create a disk, create a partition,
-extend / shrink a volume.
Tool can be downloaded here or here
There are plenty of other tools (and possibly better) that can do the same.
What I was looking for was a GUI (no command line tool), merging several functionalities at once and free.
X64 version can be found here.
Feedback and requests welcome
Regards,
Erwan.
