Thanks guys. What I am really after is "stand alone" DOS disk editor. I don't believe Norton DE is a stand alone program.

I've used one I downloaded from: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Sector/7256/ This one displays HEX or ascii values, addressable by sectors or filenames, and allows you to make changes. (It's similar to the old PC Tools disk editor.)
