  • 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.

I was listening to Security Now and Steve mentioned that the biodigital plague that precedes the Frontiers Saga was not very well described.

Over the summer Ryk Brown Released a book titled “Fall of the Core” which contained a fairly good description of the beginnings of the bio-digital plague and the descriptions tie in well with the Saga. This new book appeared to me to be a compilation of his NetCast short stories perhaps tied together better than the individual books. As usual this is another excellent book by Ryk Brown.

You might even want to read it before starting this third chapter of the Saga. Trust me! ;)
