Data-XRay

The package Data-XRay is a set of software utilities to explore the innards of data media and files. Data-XRay can display the data from CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, magnetic disks and data files.

Data-XRay consists of three utilities: ￭ CD-XRay, low-level CD-ROM explorer. ￭ Disk-XRay, low-level disk explorer. ￭ File-XRay, low-level file explorer.

CD-XRay is an utility to browse the real contents of CD-DAs, CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs. It can display the sectors in cooked mode (user data only) or in raw mode (headers, user data, error correction codes).

CD-XRay offers classical navigation functions to display the real contents of data sectors.

CD-XRay is sector oriented, which is beneficial for such files, where the classical sector size of 512 bytes used by hexadecimal editors doesn't correspond to the way the data is organized.

Disk-XRay is an utility to browse the real contents of magnetic disks. It displays the raw contents of sectors. It offers classical navigation functions to display the real contents of data sectors.

Disk-XRay manages physical hard disks, that is below the partitionning scheme.

File-Xray is a classical file hexadecimal viewer/editor. It offers classical navigation functions to display the real contents of data sectors. File-Xray also offers analytical displays for some data structures it knows about (MacBinary, Binhex files, etc.).
