Disk navigation

Moving back and forth

To move through the disk, it is reasonable to use Alt/Shift+Up/Dn keyboard shortcuts. The following logic applies:
  • "Up" means lower addresses (movement towards LBA 0), "Down" means higher addresses (towards the end of the device).
  • Use Shift key to move sector-by-sector. This allows to position to any address.
  • Use Alt key to move object-by-object. Based on the assumption the objects are placed sequentially (which is typically the case for all common filesystem structures), the view shifts by the number of sectors in the current object.

Current location is indicated in the bottom left corner of the window.

 

Following hotlinks

Some entries can be marked by the dot next to them. This means the entry points to some associated data structure. If you  double-click such an entry, ZAR will "follow" that pointer, navigating to its destination.

This "follow" feature depends on the virtual volume definition. The pointers will not be highlighted if no virtual volume is defined, because the destination locations for the links cannot be calculated.

To return to the originating point after examining the data, press Alt+Backspace.

 

Jumping to the specific address

To navigate to the specific LBA on the physical drive, press Ctrl+G, type in the address, then click OK.

To go to LBA 6, where LDM PRIVHEAD block is located, press Ctrl+L.

Our customers say

What I know about ZAR is in my case, it worked. It's interface is clean, uncluttered, and looks pretty neat. Maybe Im just a bit fat computer programmer geek missing the days of the DOS Defrag Utility (you know what I mean huh?). Ok, its €50, but in my case, it's €50 well spent, as Im sure I'll find other things to torture. Nah, if something works, i`m happy to pay for it - I use TheBat! for email rather than a fooked up M$ freebie with more security holes than a lacy blanket.
