Comment:
This version does seem to pack some powerful tools like SafeErase and
Unerase. On the whole not a bad alternative to ERD caommander (without
the GUI ofcourse). But unless you already own it, I don't think you
need it for the CD. Since all of the funtions this can do can be
replicated with different freeware tools that you can add to BartPE, it
isn't really a necessary addition.
