Been looking for a good disk analyser.

That is 1.44MB disk track and sector analyser to determine where some protected track is.

I believe the disk to be using Everlock and Yes I know I can copy the disk but I want to add the option to my little proggie to create the disk from scratch and then create the license file for it.
Therefore need some sort of disk analyser/viewer

What i want to do is also log what track/sector the software reads as it operates. Any thoughts on a spy program.

Software is windows based but they use the disk for license control.

Howdy,

I just recently saw such utilities but I can not remember where.

Try this:

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/diskmon.shtml

Assuming your using XP, 2K or NT of course...

Hmm

Still no luck with a good disk analyser yet.

Diskmon only works for Fixed Devices (harddisks) not floppy

there must be something that can scan a disk and check the format (track/sector sizes) against the standard and show any conflicts with the disk.

Blind shot,

Runtimes DiskExplorer for FAT (unless ur FDD is NtFS formated)

Though bit OT, when talking about floppy format, I'm searching too - a DMF driver working under Win2k/XP ?

Try a look for the very old freewaretool anadisk2.06.
You can find it all over the net via google.
It is really good but it run only in dos-mode.
It has also a very "nice" copy mode.

@mueller5321

Thanks for that looks like what I need.
May need to run it under windows 98 though
