3.1 Viewing and Editing Objects
YOU MUST BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF WHAT AND WHERE YOU ARE WRITING!
Or you may completely lose all your data.
Before you can physically write anything on a disk, you need to enable writing.
To enable writing,
1 On the R-Studio main panel, select the Tools menu, then Settings, and select Enable Write on the
Settings dialog box.
> The Editable: status will change to Yes from Read Only.
Now the object can be edited.
Locking and unlocking objects
It is possible to manually lock an object being edited in Text/hexadecimal Editor.
When an object is locked, Text/hexadecimal Editor has an exclusive access to it, and no other programs or
Windows can make any changes on it. Text/hexadecimal Editor itself always locks the object itself before
writing anything on the disk and then unlocks it. But sometimes locking/unlocking may take quite a lot of time, up
to several seconds. That is why sometimes it is a good practice to lock an object while editing it in Text/
hexadecimal Editor. This can be done by selecting Lock on the Tools menu.
When considering locking an object in Text/hexadecimal Editor, keep in mind the following:
Starting from Windows 7, it is impossible to change data if it resides on a logical disk without locking the
disk. If the data is on a place outside of any logical disk (on an unmounted partition or empty space), such
lock is not necessary. Windows Vista, XP, or below do not have such restrictions.
The Lock command tries to lock all logical disks on which the object being edited is placed. For a hard
drive, those are all its logical disks, for a file that is a logical disk where it resides. And if a RAID is created
from logical disks and a file is opened on that RAID, Text/hexadecimal Editor blocks all logical disks on
which the file resides.
Moreover:
If a logical disk is opened in Text/hexadecimal Editor, the Lock command locks the disk if there is no files
