Disk Manager
Disk Manager is a discontinued software and documentation package for MS-DOS and PC DOS computers, useful for self-installing personal computer hard disks. It was written by Ontrack, a company later acquired by Kroll Inc.
Installation covered different aspects:
Drivers could be either DOS-type, or replacement master boot record code.
Diskettes with Disk Manager were provided by some disk manufacturers, in custom OEM versions, supporting all of their models.
In recent years Kroll switched to the business of providing computer disk data recovery services as Kroll Ontrack Data Recovery.Version 5.0 for Windows was released on 2004-06-23. It includes DOS versions of Ontrack Disk Manager and Ontrack Data Recovery.Competing products
