DFSee, developed by Jan van Wijk, is a disk and partition analysis utility. Its PD3 files preserve partition and boot-sector information for backup and recovery purposes.
A PD3 file contains data copied from the partition table and boot sector of a disk. DFSee can use this information when examining or restoring the corresponding disk structures.
The format is associated with the Microsoft MS-DOS version of DFSee. It is a specialized utility backup format and is not intended for ordinary document or media applications.
Use DFSee for Microsoft MS-DOS to open or inspect a PD3 file. The file should be handled through DFSee's disk backup and recovery functions rather than opened as a text document.
Use care when restoring the backup, because writing partition-table or boot-sector data affects the disk structure.
PD3 files are not normally converted to another file format. They are intended to be read or restored by DFSee.
If the information is needed in another form, use DFSee to inspect it or recreate the relevant disk structures; a general-purpose converter is not normally applicable.
