Still looking...

In that case you might want to check out my DFSee tool:

http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee.htm

That will display many filestructures (including most NTFS stuff)
is a readable (decoded) format, or when needed as HEX dumps.

Apart from displaying, it has lots of specific 'fix' commands to
repair 'common' problems like damaged bootsectors
or partition-table problems.

It also has file copy/recover commands for undeleting
and saving data from damaged filesystems.

The program is NOT free, but it is not that expensive either.

You can download the evaluation version and play with that
for a month or so to see what it can do.

There is a Windows (console, NT/W2K/XP only), plus a DOS
and an OS2 version in the same package, and a native Linux
one will be added to the package shortly ...

Regards, JvW
