  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

    I am running Firefox 139.0.4 64-bit on Windows 11 Home 24H2.

    When I click on the lock icon>More information>View Certificate>GRC, the Fingerprints area shows SHA-1 hash as:
    73:15:EE:7D:F9:72:37:C4:2C:B8:3C:BD:4E:FD:43:FF:36:9D:C2:42

    which is different from the GRC hash listed in your website.

    Does this mean the certificate is being spoofed, and my https connections are being decrypted along the way?

    I have Win 10, today, June 20 2024, I was watching a tik tok video on nicotine patches and near the end of it, a picture of a man looking at me appeared for a second, it scared the beegee beedeeze out of me. Now I am asking, how do I protect myself from this happening and did this guy put something on my computer?? What should I do?
