What is Diskman?
Diskman is a hard disk manipulation program.
Diskman (DM) started as a tool for manipulating FAT boot sectors (the very first
section of a disk that describes a volume or partition) and has grown ever
since. Historically Diskman's most commonly used purpose was to quickly created
a Microsoft Windows NT bootable hard disk partition by loading the NT boot block
onto the drive. Nowadays DM can do many other tasks such as provided a
search/edit tool for a drive, manipulate/create/format partitions and
backup/restore long filenames.
Diskman has an basic scripting language that can be used to automate more
complex manipulations. Diskman can backup and restore the long filenames used by
later versions of Microsoft Windows and not available through traditional DOS.
Finally DM can now work with additional drive types such as floppy disks, disk
images (files) and CD/ROM drives.
Diskman was written for fun and therefore the direction that it develops in is
entirely dependent on the response I get from releasing it on the Internet. I
hope that it will be useful to someone and I look forward to hearing about any
uses that it has been put to. Please beware that although it has been tested it
is still beta software which is very much in development, I cannot, and will
not, warranty that this software is free from bugs and that in extreme
circumstances it may corrupt data. You have been warned!

Logic is a free hard disk partitioning and data management tool. It can create,
delete, format, and move partitions and modify their attributes. It can copy
entire hard disks from one to another.

http://www.roadkil.net/ "This
program copys a disk as a raw image from one drive directly to another. This
utility is designed for people who have faulty drive and want to transfer the
data directly to another drive without doing a file by file copy. This saves the
need for operating system re-installs and allows drives with an unknown file
system to be copied (including from console game machines, data recorders, mac
etc). The program has a built in data recovery function which will attempt to
recover data from bad sectors to ensure all the available data is restored from
the drive. This program is designed to run under NT/XP/2000 or later operating
systems. It will run under windows 95/98/Me operating systems but only windows
logical drives can be copied."
File systems tools (e2fsprogs, reiserfsprogs, xfsprogs, jfsutils,
ntfsprogs, dosfstools): they allow you to format, resize, debug an existing
partition of your hard disk
Sfdisk allows you to backup and restore your partition table
