8.3.4 View
Information about disks and volumes in the Acronis Disk Editor window can be viewed and edited in
several different modes. You can select the appropriate view mode with the help of the View menu.
The editor offers seven view modes:
 HEX (hexadecimal mode)
 Partition table
 FAT16 boot sector
 FAT32 boot sector
 FAT32 FS info sector
 NTFS boot sector
 FAT folder
The hexadecimal view mode is the main and the most universal. Other modes that represent some
kind of patterns for viewing data let you work with decoded values of bytes or groups of bytes. You
will be able to see the stages of disk data storage formation while the standard disk volume is being
created and formatted and while files and folders are being created.
Additionally, in the View menu, you can hide or show the status bar and toolbar.
8.3.5 Search
The Search menu lets you search a disk for a line and to go to a disk sector according to its absolute
offset.
A search line can be set both as char and as numeric (hexadecimal) values. During a search, you can
ignore letter case as well as search for a given line at a given offset inside the sector.
The disk data is interpreted according to the encoding selected. If you selected a search mode
without a matching case letter, both the case and elements above the characters will be ignored.
