Power Shadow

Hi, folks: Power Shadow was 100% free if you jumped onto the wagon much earlier, both v. 2.6 and 2.8. For those who are still interesting in this product, perhaps you still can d/l from its Chinese web site ( pls note not the English site in Chiago) for free. But one thing for sure, its v.2.82 freeware for personal use will be ceased to exist from June 11, 2007 (its most recent news release ). PS is a remarkable app, dev is still under way. Have a nice day.

 

IMO, powershadows is completely free. Who told you PS is a have-to-pay app?

I personally recommend V2.6 ---more stable & not write MBR ( V2.8 may do so)

 

I provided a link several responses up from this one showing that the product costs $39.

But still others are claiming it is free. That is worriesome in in itself. Are some sites offering Powershadow for free while others are charging for it?

 

Both PS 2.6 & 2.8.2 do NOT change/mess with the MBR... see https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1000698&postcount=126

That's alot of money : $30 more and you have FDISR.

 

Besafe I down loaded from Tuscows put PowerShadow in as user name and the code that is shown in one of the posts and it worked for me. Code on post 12

 

I remerber that some version later than V2.6 would really write MBR ( V2.8 ? ); many PS users have reported the bug to developers.

Very glad to hear there is no such problem with PS V2.8.2 now.

 

PS is worth it's weight in any distribution. Those fortunate to have got in on the action early know this. I tested this program AGAIN. This time with Rollback RX 8 with perfect results as always. Of course i got my download off the TuCows site some time ago and count many of us lucky to have been satisfied recipients of the power this app supplies.

Renown and respected Global Moderator Peter2150 put it up against KillDisk virus and POWER SHADOW returned positive results.

It's truly been an app worth it's weight. XP Pro SP1 and no problems at all here, not even on an unpatched fresh XP install with no ServicePack update.

A keeper and a Heavyweight!!!

 

Its a heavyweight and yet its lightweight

 

Sadly enough its not working on my main rig,its having Sata in it,i remember somebody saying its not working on Sata drives,on the other machines with Ide drives--flawless !!

 

The 2.8 will work with SATA and I tried the download and English conversion but chickened out. Couldn't exactly figure out what I needed to do.

 

Yeah...but that doesn't quire seem right to use a code found from this website to get the product for free. It is either free or it isn't. If it's not free, I wouldn't reccomend pirating it.

 

Sad for you,but anyway i wil take a look at 2.8
thanks.

 

Besafe, I don't understand about 2.6 as far as the legality of what I did. I downloaded from a legitimate site. Put in a code that someone at PS must have come up with. I believe that a lot of times when a new program is starting they let some out free to get interest started. It has certainly done that. They already have 2.8 but in Chin. They are working on an ALPHA of 2.9. I have a sys. with a SATA drive. 2.6 won't work. I am looking forward to a version that will work on mine. And I won't mind paying for it.

 

Hi, folks: PS was not a freeware at its birth two years ago in North America. According to its creator Mr.Bao ( resides in Beijing, China), there are more than 20,000 copies sold, at the same time, people in China, Taiwan were widely using its cracked Chinese version. Sometime late last year, he decided to pull the plugs from North America and to give his countryfellow a legitimate copy to use freely, that was when v.26 's user name/code became public, and was picked up by our member here, and became a joy wagon, everyone seems to like it. He later published v.2.8 and 2.82 w/ different activation method(online)-this method will be ceased and desisted on June 11,2007. IMO, it is perfectly legal and moral to use it. Anyone would suggest otherwise is off track. Although there is new website set up out of Chiago, its position is still remained very vague. if there is a freeware out there, why would you fork $$ to folks in Chiago? Just my loonie sense. Have a nice one.

 

The author has stated that the 2.8 edition is free for individual non-commercial use.

 

I would like to figure out how to use it.

 

is there any link to download ver. 2.8,from what i understand its working with Sata drives.

Espresso, a very special thanks from english only users!

Version 2.6 worked fine with my SATA2 drive . v2.82 is supposed to work "better" with SATA but to what degree, I don't know.

 

How many people have SATA drives and have 2.6 working. PS support told me that it isn't compatible.
