What it does, is scanning/reading the entire contents of a disk (CD, DVD or hard drive; or even floppy) and show any read errors that may appear, but also show drive speed information, progress statistics etc. It was designed with simplicity in mind, but usefulness for the user. You can use it to do a full check of the surface of any disks, for example if you have just scratched a disk and want to see if it is still readable, or if you want to check all your cd library for time or usage related faults. You can also use it for drive benchmarking, easily comparing speeds through 'X' speed multiplier factor, in real conditions. You can also scan hard drives or even floppies - and get real condition performance information accordingly with drive performance but also with the way data is stored on it, which obviously impacts on overall performance. Make sur you clean the CD or DVD before doing tests, to remove dirt and ensure tests are accurate. Freeware. Author: EMSA SYSTEMS LTD| Date: 25-03-2004 | Size: 185 KB

	Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks.  License: Freeware
	The Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks is a stand-alone utility that detects and reports fragmentation-related performance loss on networked systems. The Performance Analyzer provided never before available single-point analysis of systems requiring defragmentation attention to achieve optimal performance. With Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks you can zero in on the machines that need attention and handle them before they turn into a helpdesk problem. After installing and launching the utility, you are presented with a list of computers on your domain(s) available for analysis. Once you have selected target computers, a small agent is temporarily copied to these computers to begin an analysis. The agent quickly and unobtrusively gathers disk fragmentation information from the remote computers and reports this data to the Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks main console. The agent then completely removes itself from remote client systems. After collecting all the analysis data, Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks will create and present a comprehensive report showing the fragmentation related performance degradation on selected remote computers.

	CryptoExpert 2006 Lite  License: Freeware
	CryptoExpert Lite is a free encryption software. It uses an on-the-fly encryption system to encrypt and decrypt data. Data is stored in the encrypted form, but when it is requested by any application, it gets decrypted on-the-fly. Conversely, unencrypted data to be stored is encrypted instantaneously and then stored. The CryptoExpert system mounts a volume file to create a "virtual drive" that appears to applications and users like any other physical drive. Any data that the user attempts to write to this drive is intercepted by CryptoExpert, encrypted, and written to the volume file. Attempts to read from this volume are also intercepted, and the relevant data is read by CryptoExpert from the volume file, decrypted, and presented to the application trying to read the data. Dismounting the CryptoExpert "virtual drive" ensures that data cannot be read from or written to it. All data is stored encrypted within the "container". As far as windows is concerned, there is a 'new' disk that has suddenly appeared. When the program exists or the volume is unmounted, the file system stays encrypted and there is absolutely no way anyone can recover/get the data without the pass phrase. Product Features  Using powerful encryption algorithm to encrypt your data: CAST 128 bit  Ability to create encrypted containers (files vault) up to 20 Megabytes in size  Access to your files on virtual volume on the fly  Mapping any free drive letter like G:, F:, K: for virtual volume  Requires password authentication before the files become accessible  Works with all Windows application - even DOS applications  Really Fast  Looks like normal hard drive Author: SecureAction Research, LLC| Date: 11-09-2006 | Size: 1625 KB

	Abaiko Disk Space Monitor  License: Freeware
	Abaiko Disk Space Monitor is a program monitoring free space on the disks of your computer. Modern computers have a lot of space on their disks. And people stopped watching the space thinking that disks of that size just cannot be too small. Most likely, some software developers stick to that opinion as well and some software occupies quite a lot of space on disks or do not save it. In addition, software capabilities increase together with the development of computers. A lot of people can now work with large amounts of data, for example, editing home video, processing high-resolution photos or complex graphics, recording music. All this is impossible unless you have free space on your disk, which invisibly becomes less and less. And unexpected lack of space on your disk, especially on the system one, may result in your work being lost or even in operating system failures. The simple, but still useful tool Abaiko Disk Space Monitor will keep you informed about the amount of free space on your disks. The news that there is not enough space on the disk will not take you by surprise in the worst time any more and you will no longer have to worry about it. Features: - Easy to use and configure - Running at Windows startup - Monitoring disks of any types - Access to the application via the tray icon - Warnings as balloon messages The tool can monitor disks of any types your computer supports. As soon as free space on the disks you select reaches the limits you specify, the program will let you know about it. Abaiko Disk Space Monitor is intended for both regular home users and system administrators that need space for quickly growing logs of various systems, enlarging databases, data backups, or for software caching data.

	RECOVER Fixed/Floppy Disk v1.4 ( 5-star rated). Folder / File level Data Recovery Utility for Hard Disk Drives and Floppy Disks. RECOVER Fixed/Floppy Disk handles File Allocation Table (FAT) damage and subfolder damage. If FAT damage should not affect you, just defragment the file system as often as you can. If subfolder damage should not affect you, save the subfolder to a safe location. This FREEWARE version would not save the Root Folder for later use. RECOVER Fixed/Floppy Disk handles these error conditions at individual folder level. Recovers all the files from the specified directory on 16-bit and 12-bit FAT file systems in DOS and WINDOWS even if both copies of the FAT have considerable number of damaged sectors, if the disk involved had been regularly defragmented. If FAT is good, FAT1 or FAT2 can be used. All you need to do is put all your important files in a few directories (note: entire drives can be ZIPped up and sent to the backup drive) and defrag that backup drive after each update and if you want to be playful enough, note down the first sector of file(s) or if you want 100 percent safety, save the subdirectory having your important data as a file somewhere else. IF YOU DEFRAG FLOPPY/HDD REGULARLY, YOU GET THE UTMOST BENEFIT. Supports FAT12 File Systems (Floppies) from DOS to WINDOWS 98SE and FAT16 File Systems in DOS, WINDOWS 3.1/3.11, WINDOWS 95, and (up to 2 GB partitions in) WINDOWS 95-OSR2, WINDOWS 98 and WINDOWS 98SE (HDD can be 120 GB).
