Description Changelog Specifications

IsoBuster is the ultimate data data recovery software that supports ALL types of media, including CD/DVD, BD/HD DVD, Hard Drives, SSM, USB flash drives, Zip drives, Jaz drives, floppies etc.

IsoBuster lets you rescue lost files from a bad or trashed CD, DVD or a Blu-Ray disc. Also it allows to recover deleted files from a Hard Drive, Memory card or of from flash media that Windows says needs to be formatted!

The program is a highly specialized yet easy to use media data recovery tool. It supports all disc formats and all common file systems. Start up app, Insert a disc, select the drive (if not selected already) and let IsoBuster mount the media.

IsoBuster immediately shows you all the tracks and sessions located on the media, combined with all file-systems that are present. This way you get easy access, just like explorer, to all the files and folders per file-system.

IsoBuster 5.1 Release Notes

Changes / New:

Ability to analyze a FAT (12, 16 or 32) and work out all the files it references without the need for a full media scan [Professional license or better]
Ability to try and figure out file extensions of files found via analyzing the FAT (via right mouse click “Try to find matching extensions”)
Ability to try and figure out *.CHK files’ true file extension (in FAT “FOUND.???” folders (e.g. “FOUND.000”), also via right mouse click)
Show NTFS Junctions and Symbolic links by applying a shortcut overlay icon, and by providing link information in the Properties dialog
Finding logical drives (drive letter volumes) is now default ON on modern systems (W10 and higher) after a clean install

Improvements:

Improved extraction dialog scaling when dragged to a different monitor
Improved search dialog scaling when dragged to a different monitor
Improved message dialog scaling when dragged to a different monitor
Improved properties dialog scaling when dragged to a different monitor
Improved options dialog scaling when dragged to a different monitor
Improved ‘About’ dialog to properly scale the image on all systems and for all dpi settings
Improved file-system icons for better scaling and to look crisp for all dpi settings
Improvements detecting raw (2352 bytes per block) generic CD images
Auto-open the MDS file when an MDF file is opened (and when the filename matches)
Creating an MD5 can now be done straight to file, or the result can be shown in the edit window
Workaround for an unknown 12 byte header in rare ISO/IMG files made by an unknown application
Improved FAT detection by double checking if it’s not a BitLocker encrypted Partition
Improved MBR partition parsing by double checking if it’s not an image of a BitLocker encrypted Partition
The level up, previous and next selection-history buttons now have a shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + (Arrow-up or Arrow-left or Arrow-right)
Remove “OpenWithProgids” entries again from the registry when disabling an extension because Windows 10/11 appears to use it as backup, which defeats the purpose of disabling the association
Get the proper size for logical drives (Volumes) instead of the physical drive’s size the Partition/Volume is on
Changed a logical drive’s name to reflect on what physical drive the volume is located
Option to clear an optical disc drive’s content after the eject button is clicked
Option to change how the media/cd/hdd/.. filename for an image file is formed
Stay with font size 9 when the screen dpi > 100% (e.g. 150%) (revert 5.0 change (in case of higher dpi))
Show speed when extracting (or cloning) Media Segments
Draw a line between different types of devices, Optical vs HDD (Physical) vs HDD (Logical) vs Image Files
Display up to 6 digits behind the comma when showing the percentage of bad sectors, so that only a few errors on larger volumes still produce a value different from 100%, e.g. 99.999999 %
Ability to launch the Edit Window with the contents of all tabs in the Properties dialog
Updated libwim-15.dll to version 1.13.6
Plenty of other tweaks and improvements

Fixes:

Fixed a 64 bit instability (and program shut down) that could happen on certain systems. If your version runs fine, this doesn’t affect you
Fixed an unexpected shut down while parsing certain FAT file systems
Fixed parsing CloneCD *.ccd image files using the 64bit version (it was not a problem with the 32 bit version)
Fixed creating an MD5 file of CUE + ISO combinations. Only the CUE’s MD5 would be recorded in the file
Fixed building an error list for media with some read errors at the end (sometimes the range started incorrectly at address 0)
Fixed NTFS hard links’ file-naming (which could be off, depending on the order of filenames in the MFT records)
Fixed an NTFS corruption issue with LZX-compressed WofCompressedData named streams
Fixed it so that overlay icons are shown again in the right hand side ListView (for instance shortcut overlay icons) (Broken since 4.9)
Fixed FAT meta files’ size and offset when the FAT was detected inside a boot image on CD
