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.)
Then that's a PERFECT filter, right?

Right?
Have I got it, folks?
Which brings us to https://www.grc.com/mail.htm as illustrated in the prior post.
I'm using Google more and more to search deep inside anyone's
website, finding that Google does a better job than the site owners do.
I find and, more importantly, RE-find many computers that way at
vendor sites, when the model I am after is impossible to find through
their website's main menu system.
On the Google search line, just add
site:grc.com or site:hp.com and so on to whatever we are looking for:
Security Now email address site:grc.com Though even without
site:GRC.com , Google found the answer for us.Similar threads
