  • 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.)

Please pardon my de-lurking.
We received a Data Breach notice from CHANGE HEALTHCARE, an apparent data broker for health care and insurance. It made me wonder if there is an official, (as in Federal government), site that lists all the breaches. I've had many but this is the first time my wife has received one. I'm on credit freeze with all but Equifax. These people make it very difficult to put a credit freeze on accounts.

Such probably falls somewhere under the FTC for the US Government. You'd best write your representatives and ask them to get on it.

Otherwise, services to report when your information is found are probably better. Still reactive. We really need proactive regulations.
