>HxD - Freeware Hex Editor and Disk Editor
>HxD is a carefully designed and fast hex editor which, additionally to raw
>disk editing and modifying of main memory (RAM), handles files of any size.
>The easy to use interface offers features such as searching and replacing,
>exporting, checksums/digests, insertion of byte patterns, a file shredder,
>concatenation or splitting of files, statistics and much more.
>Editing works like in a text editor with a focus on a simple and task-
>oriented operation, as such functions were streamlined to hide differences
>that are purely technical.
>For example, drives and memory are presented similar to a file and are
>shown as a whole, in contrast to a sector/region-limited view that cuts
>off data which potentially belongs together. Drives and memory can be
>edited the same way as a regular file including support for undo. In
>addition memory-sections define a foldable region and inaccessible
>sections are hidden by default.
>Furthermore a lot of effort was put into making operations fast and
>efficient, instead of forcing you to use specialized functions for
>technical reasons or arbitrarily limiting file sizes. This includes a
>responsive interface and progress indicators for lengthy operations.

>Notes
>Disk-Editor
>To use the disk editor under Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7 and
>higher you have to be an administrator or have the appropriate
>privileges.
>Starting with Vista you need to manually unmount the hard disk to
>successfully write to it, or in other words: make sure the disk you
>edit has no mounted file system. More details in this forum thread.
>A system drive (the one where Windows is installed on) cannot be
>written to while Windows is running. In order to still accomplish
>that, you will have to execute HxD from a boot CD/DVD like PartBE
>or VistaPE and edit the system disk from there.
>Windows NT 4
>If the RAM-editor doesn't show any processes under Windows NT 4 you
>most likely don't have PSAPI.DLL installed on your system. You can
>get it from Microsoft (PSAPI.DLL Download) and copy the DLL into the
>%windir%\System directory.
>HxD was only tested for Windows NT 4 SP 6, though it should work
>with versions prior to service pack 6.
>Windown NT 4 SP1 and newer are also supported, if WININET.DLL is
>added, through IE 3.02 or newer.
