DD stands for Disk Dump, and it's basically a flashing method used by some programs like rufus. What this method does is make a bit-by-bit copy of the disk image on the USB drive. This means that the image is written directly to the drive, replicating its exact structure, including partitions, file systems, and any other data on it.
No, once this method is used, formatting the device does not do any good, as it not only assigns a file system to the device, but also clones the structure including its partition system.
No, most software is not able to correctly interpret the partition table and file system created using Disk Dumping.
Of course, that is the main functionality of this tool.
No, this tool is 100% free, contains no ads, does not require a subscription, has no time limit, does not require a payment method and anything like that.
Yes, the DD method, by itself, already erases all the information, to recover the device you have to format the content.
This tool works on Windows 7/8/8.1 and 10. It should work with the latest current versions of Windows as well. Older versions than those described were not tested and their functionality is unknown. If you have tried those versions, we would be grateful if you let us know in our contact section.
