Win32 Disk Imager Changelog

What's new in Win32 Disk Imager 1.0.0

Mar 8, 2017
  • New Features:
  • Verify Image - Now you can verify an image file with a device. This compares
  • the image file to the device, not the device to the image file (i.e. if you
  • write a 2G image file to an 8G device, it will only read 2G of the device for
  • comparison).
  • Additional checksums - Added SHA1 and SHA256 checksums.
  • Read Only Allocated Partitions - Option to read only to the end of the defined partition(s). Ex: Write a 2G image to a 32G device, reading it to a new file will only read to the end of
  • the defined partition (2G).
  • Save last opened folder - The program will now store the last used folder in
  • the Windows registry and default to it on next execution.
  • Additional language translations (thanks to devoted users for contributing).
  • Bugs Fixed:
  • LP: 1285238 - Need to check filename text box for valid filename (not just a directory).
