Apple Silicon Windows VM (ARM Edition) issue

  • DNS Benchmark v2 is Finished and Available!
    Guest:
    That's right. It took an entire year, but the result far more accurate and feature laden than we originally planned. The world now has a universal, multi-protocol, super-accurate, DNS resolver performance-measuring tool. This major second version is not free. But the deal is, purchase it once for $9.95 and you own it — and it's entire future — without ever being asked to pay anything more. For an overview list of features and more, please see The DNS Benchmark page at GRC. If you decide to make it your own, thanks in advance. It's a piece of work I'm proud to offer for sale. And if you should have any questions, many of the people who have been using and testing it throughout the past year often hang out here.
    /Steve.

  • 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.)

ValiDrive ask me for admin priveleges. But i've run it as admin.
Any ideas?
Thanks
 
You're in unsupported territory. ValiDrive is a Windows x86 utility. The fact that you can get it to do *anything* on ARM is just luck.
 
I know that ValiDrive is a x86 Application. But MS confirm emulation for x86 apps on ARM platform
 
Maybe try setting the Run as administrator flag on the file properties before attempting to run It

Did you actually login as Administrator, or login with an account that has Admin rights? I gather that, in MS speak, they are not the same.
 
It's actually a simple fix. You need to change the emulation mode to run Validrive...works for Spinrite as well to make the USB drive:

1) Right-click on the validrive (or spinrite).exe file
2) Choose properties
3) Choose compatibility tab
4) Click change emulation settings
5) Choose Safe Emulation
6) Click Apply
7) Click OK

Now right click on the validrive.exe file and Run as Administrator. It will now work normally.

Yes! I do that before read your comment
