  • 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.

Hi there,

After listening to episode 817 i just wanted to let you know for those who owns a QNAP i just installed Debian on mine, so there is hope to have better security on it.

I'm not sure if it supports all devices but it is supposed to work on the Marvell Kirkwood platform. You find the guides how to install Debian on it here:

Debian on QNAP Turbo NAS

I have a TS-431 and it's not capable of running Debian, or any custom OS, as far as I can tell. So I've got it as fully blocked from external access as I can.
