  • 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.)

I am slowly catching up on past SecurityNow episodes. In SN 959 where Steve announced SR RC6 availability, he also talked about his upcoming email servicing. When I bought SR, it was many, years ago when I was with an old ISP and used their email service (RoadRunner) but luckily I kept my serial number for SR so I have been good to go for downloading betas and now the RC of 6.1.

My question is, is there a way to get my email updated in that old FoxPro database to my latest and greatest email address for my registered SR so when Steve fires up his email service I can stay in the loop without having to wait until it is mentioned on SN?

Thanks!

Yes!

Go here: https://www.grc.com/cs/customerservice.htm

Enter either your SpinRite license code or your purchase transaction code and click "Lookup System Code"

Your purchase receipt will be displayed.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, to the Current eMail Settings box.

There you can easily update your email address. :)
