    Hi Mike

    Have a good trip. I've been emailing with Coldmoon re Returnil handling Raid 0 which it can't right now. He also said he really appreciated seeing your test of Powershadow and the low level disk access. Based on your tests they tested Returnil and found it had the same vulnerablity. They have fixed that and the next build contains the fix.

    Well done.

    Pete

    When I get back, I plan to also test writing/deleting in a sector than is blank somewhere in the sector range that drive C: is.

    For example, if C: is from sector 63 to 100,000,000 and the disk is 50% full/empty, I would be able to find lots of empty sectors, for example sector 90,000,000.

    In case you wonder why I said sector 63 in the above sentence... the MBR is sector 0, and sectors 1-62 are not used. Sectors 0-62 = 1st cluster.

    I am also about 90% sure the even "Paragon Hard Disk Manager 8 Special Edition" can also do damage to any sector.

    But, need to test Full Shadow mode... maybe FULL = ALL SECTORS?

    Mike
