  • 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 just found a really great program on github, I have really hated the Windows 10 program for arranging screens, as I can never line them up 100% and I always see they are obviously wrong when using VMware. After using this “dpedit” I get a nice perfect grid in VMware and I know my monitor layout is perfect. It looks like it is written in C++ and directly using the Windows API. This will save me from fighting that awful monitor layout utility in Windows 10 that is always is off by a few pixels. The monitor numbers don’t match what Windows 10 control has, but if you just get them close and then use the “/l” switch to list the current layout and then just change the ones that are off by a few pixels. Nice program at 132 lines of C++.
