You can go to the necessary sector according to its absolute offset by 
selecting the Go to… line the Search menu (or by pressing Alt+P key 
combination). Selecting this line opens the Go to… dialog window.  

 

The transition is performed by entering absolute sector offset, or cylinder, 
head, and sector numbers. The listed parameters are bound by this 
expression: 

(CYL x HDS + HD) x SPT + SEC – 1, 

Where CYL, HD, SEC are numbers of cylinder, head, sector in the CHS co-
ordinates (Cylinder – Head – Sector); HDS is the number of heads per disk, 
SPT is the number of heads per track.

 

You can return to sector from another one by selecting the Back item in the 
Search menu (or by pressing Ctrl+Backspace key combination).

 

The main window of the program features a list of encodings available in 
Acronis DiskEditor. This list is shown closed and dropped down below.  

 

 

The list of encodings is intended for correct interpretation of hard disk sector 
contents. Selecting the necessary encoding, you will be able to view sector 
contents correctly. This is interpreted in the right part of program’s main 
window in the hex mode.
