DOS Disk Dumper by NCommander

DOS Disk Dumper by NCommander is standalone DOS utility designed to image a HDD to an image file, it essentially treats the disk as one ‘block device’, using the hardware level routings built into the Motherboards ROM, to image the disk at the block level.

Intended User
Designed for digital archiving, preservation and restoration of MS-DOS/Win3x systems by Intermediate & Advanced Users.

Compatibility

From my understanding, due to the way the program is written, compatibility with DOS versions is irrelevant. Although I have tested it on MS-DOS 5 & 6.22 currently.

Example Display

YouTube - 486 Data Recovery with MSBACKUP and NetWare - Intel Professional Workstation (Part 2)
