Ooh, good catch! DriveSpy does use those old-school MS-DOS commands, doesn't it? And I think it can do hashing too. Yeah, that's my guess.

Wait, wait, wait. Did anyone else notice that the question said 'standard MS-DOS commands'? That's gotta be a hint, right? I'm thinking it's probably DriveSpy.

Nah, I'm pretty sure Ontrack is more for data recovery, not forensics. Doesn't sound like it's the right tool for this question.

I think the answer might be Ontrack. Isn't that the tool that can do forensic analysis on all kinds of storage devices?

I've used Device Seizure before, and it's a pretty powerful forensic tool. It can definitely create MD5 hashes, but I'm not sure about the whole 'standard MS-DOS commands' thing.

This question seems pretty straightforward, but I'm not sure about the answer. Does anyone have any experience with these tools?
