  • 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.

    Letter from Lastpass about "incident"

    The details of the last breach pushed me to try out Bitwarden. So far it is working well for me (only 5 days of testing using the free account). I have to move my whole family from LastPass so that is a challenge to find something that non-techies can use.

    Have you been referenced on Security Now!

    I was only once: https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-627.htm I found some old podcasts the Eurythmics did after using SpinRite on a drive I had for backups that stopped working. You can listen to them via this link if interested...
