Hi All,
I made another hex editor, wxHexEditor, wanted to mention here.
It's free and also open sourced.
It's working on Windows, MacOSX and Linux.
You can open files and also devices with it.
It allows to open up to 2 exabytes.
I think some of your like that. Specially Linux users since there is no good disk editor at Linux that could open multi-gigabyte devices.

Thanks for trying.

Looks very nice! Thanks for making this freely available!

I shall download and try the beta soon, but what I wanted to ask right now - out of curiosity - what programming language and tool chain did you choose that could facilitate such a multi-target project ?

Congrats

Program build with C++, using GNU C/C++ Compiler.
I used wxWidgets for GUI library. For building GUI used wxFromBuilder
And IDE choice is Code::Blocks.
My OS choice is OpenSUSE Linux but those tools has versions for Windows and MacOSX too.

I don't understand this.
A hex editor naturally could read every file...

Hi,
Earlier this morning I spotted your post.

Please see my post in, HDD Guru under Hard Disk Drives: data recovery and repair, date January 24th, 2012, 5:02 post title How To Recover Contents Of HD Partition? My user name is pollys13

" Depending on how much of the drive, the Windows 7 format had wiped (which could be found using a hex editor), then your original drive D might be untouched. Using a utility like Partition Find & Mount, installed on a different PC, may then allow you to find the original drive D untouched on your previous drive. "

Could you explain please how, I can use your hex editor to determine the amount of damaged and undamaged data on my HD?
Thank you,
Peter.

Allah'ın selamı üzerine olsun kardeş,

I was looking for such an hex edıtor too but couldn't find. Than build one.
Use SVN trunk and build by yourself for v0.12
There is lots of improvements.

@peter/pollys13,
Unfortunately, my hex editor cannot analyze your HDD automatically. It just could open you hdd. Than you could recover your files by hand, if you have deep knowledge about your FS.

Hi ,
I downloaded your program, but the help file wouln't open I'll try again. Will try to use your editor on a cloned copy of the drive. I don't think I really need to use it, but I'm curious to find out what % of data on the drive has been damaged.
Wish I could be as clever as you all are :)
Thanks.

Hi All!
I released v0.20 recently.
In this release there is more HDD related features like indicating each sector by red thin line (see screenshot at first post)
Also you can use "Go to" seek any sector address directly. Also have next/previous sectors button on Goto dialog.
Offset panel supports LBA addressing for block devices ( "Sector:Offset" formatting )
You can save your selection as a dump to a file directly.
There is multiple CopyAs format generates dumps to clipboard for easy use at code or internet, ( currently supports phpBB forum / HTML and Wiki styles also TAGS support!!)
`Find Some Byte` functionality specially useful for analyzing HDD. Just skips empty regions and finds some meaningful sectors.

Here is the Full change log:

Hi, I've just run into the excellent wxHexEditor program and want to say "thank you". I would like to also mention a preoblem I am encountering on Windows 10 with version 0.24 Beta (yes, Beta, I know..., but it has 2012 date on it!) Essentially, whenever I try to "Open Disk Device", it comes back with "Device is not mounted" error, followed by "File cannot open." Any words of advice?
