  • 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.

Awhile back I was looking for a easy way to download all the episodes of Security Now via the Twit website so I wouldn't have to hit @Steve 's bandwidth. There were some recommendations, and I was able to do it, but I wanted to make a quick Python script that would make it easier for less technically inclined (or lazy technically inclined) people to do so from the Twit Cachefly service, so as not to put a big strain on @Steve 's bandwidth. So here it is. Make sure you have Python installed, and added to path, then pip install requests, as that is what is used in the script. It will ask for a beginning episode number and end episode number. NOTE IT SUPPORTS 4 DIGITS FOR EPISODES... @Steve . I figured anyone here would rather have the code than an exe.
