  • 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.)

Dear Steve, I bought my first copy of Spinrite in 1989 or 1990 have been a big fan of your diverse interests ranging from tech to sci fi and health since. I wanted to thank you for sharing and to let you know of a very interesting book I have recently read which you might enjoy. It is titled Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker; I found it filled another knowledge hole around the whole overall health issue alongside keto, exercise, and supplements such as Vit D.
Best,
Rezaff.

@Rezaff I've read a good portion of that book in audio form. It has lots of good info and I recommend it as well. It has a fair amount of evolutionary info that won't appeal to Christians. However, other than that, it's very interesting.

I haven't read the book, but there is a video with Matt Walker being interviewed by Joe Rogan. The video is the two of them sitting for the interview so the audio portion is more 'portable'.
