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.

Bin Editor

VBinDiff (Visual Binary Diff) displays files in hexadecimal and ASCII(or EBCDIC). It can also display two files at once, and highlightthe differences between them. Unlike diff, it works well withlarge files (up to 4 GB).

See Full List On Docs.microsoft.com

VBinDiff was inspired by the Compare Files function of the ProSelutilities by Glen Bredon, for the Apple II. When I couldn’t find asimilar utility for the PC, I wrote it myself.

The single-file mode was inspired by the LIST utility of4DOS and friends.While lessprovides a good line-orienteddisplay, it has no equivalent to LIST’s hex display. (True, you canpipe the file through hexdump, but that’s incredibly inefficient onmulti-gigabyte files.)
