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

created and formatted and while files and folders are being created.
