Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Windows 95 disk utility (does not run under NT) allows you to
Duplicate/Format/Compare/Repair your disks. It supports Microsoft
Distribution Format (MS-DMF) diskettes plus removable and fixed HD
drives.
Follows the major program features:
* Setup program for easy Install/Remove (also in batch).
* Command line options for disk duplication without user intervention.
* Multiple language: English, Italian, Danish, Sweden, Chinese, German,
French, Spanish, Catalan, Serbian and Portuguese.
* Support for 1.2Mb, 720Kb, 1.44Mb, 1.72Mb, MS-DMF (Microsoft
Distribution Format), fixed and removable hard disk (like Iomega ZIP or
similar).
* Duplicate your disks quickly while you do others jobs and skip the
empty tracks to don't lose time.
* Preview the diskette contents before duplicate it.
* Create many copies of the same disk with only one disk read (also for
removable hard disks).
* Compare a disk with another.
* Save/Load binary disk images for a later disk generation. Also you can
assign a comment to every disk image for an easy retrieval.
* Optimized disk format in order to speed up the read access by every
application.
* Format and Repair hard disks and floppies. The program is able to move
the data clusters and mark the tracks or cylinders in failure as BAD on
FAT12 and FAT16 file systems. Generate a repair report.
* Boot sector consistency check (verify some fixed fields) and
re-creation capability (destroy your boot virus).
* Automatically associates the program with a .dim extension to be fully
integrated with the explorer shell. Also allows you to create a desktop
shortcut icon and drop on it an image file.
* Disk detailed information and system devices information display and
report.
* Language translation SDK available on request.
What's New
~~~~~~~~~~~
* Lower license price: regular is 29US$, special time limited offer is
25US$.
* A setup program was added to yield GRDuw more professional.
* Full support for quick format/duplicate/repair any removable hard disk.
* New language translations: French, Spanish, Catalan, Serbian and
Portuguese.
* Format and Repair report dialog can be automatically shown at the end
of the operation.
* New System dialog list your system hardware devices other than Windows
and BIOS version.
* Command line options were added to allow you duplicate your disks in
batch.
* Enhanced the low-level code to make the program more compatible with
any PC.
* Minor bug fixes.
The major addition of this version is the full support to format,
duplicate and repair the emerging removable hard disks like Iomega ZIP,
JAZ, Syquest EZFlyer and many others (the only constrain is that you
have sufficient fixed disk space to hold the removable disk image).
These new devices will soon replace the old floppies, and GRDuw is
ready just now to offer you easy of use and best performance compared
with similar utilities distributed by the removable HD manufacturers.
The language translations for French, Spanish, Catalan, Serbian and
Portuguese were added to meet the growing sympathizing International
users.
A new added option allows you to automatically display a report dialog
after a format or a repair operation completes. This can be very handy
when you start an operation and leave the program alone. When you come
back, you want to known if there were errors and where. Another useful
option for the batch users is the addition of some command line options
that allows disk duplication without any user intervention.
A new System dialog box has been added to show your system devices other
than the Windows version, the BIOS version and date, the memory usage
and the memory total and free space. This option can be very useful in
case of problems to build a detailed report of your system.
As usual, also this version has few minor bug fixes.
For more details, please consult the help file.
Known Problems
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As all the programs that overwork the system performances using the
low-level interface, GRDuw does not correctly run on all hardware
configurations. A great effort has been done on this version to make
the program reliable on all systems for the 1.68Mb and 1.72Mb formats.
However there are some PC on which the program is not able to correctly
work for these formats. To better track these problems the "System"
dialog was added in order to collect the user installed hardware, BIOS
version and Windows 95 version, as it is not easy to do this with the
standard Windows tools.
If you experience such problems, please email me a message to
grsoft@kagi.com with attached a copy of the report created from the
"System" dialog. I do not promise to solve your problem but surely I
will try to help you understand why your system does not work with
GRDuw.
I have a signal from a PC installer that has found a problem with all
motherboard type ASUS (TX97XE) and all motherboard with a TX chipset
and BIOS version 1.04 or less. The problem has been removed updating
the BIOS to version 1.06.
Also the LS-120 drive seem to have problems with the 1.68Mb and 1.72Mb
formats.
Evolution
~~~~~~~~~~
We are working to make GRDuw running under Windows NT.
We have planned to update the Repair feature in order to make it works
on FAT32 disks.
The "make disk bootable" option will be added to the Format dialog.
Install
~~~~~~~~
Unzip the distribution archive and run the setup.exe program. This
program will copy all the needed GRDuw files where you want and will
register GRDuw on your system. This setup program allow you to add a
desktop icon, and to list the program into the "Start Menu" or into the
"Start Menu\Programs" menu. It also registers itself into the Control
Panel to allow quick and full Remove.
Remove
~~~~~~~
From the "Control Panel" - "Add/Remove Programs" you can quickly remove
the program (completely) from your system how the Windows 95 standard
requires.
License
~~~~~~~~
This is NOT FREE software. This license allows you to use this software
for evaluation purposes without any charge for a period of 30 days. If
you use this software after the 30 days evaluation period a
