  • DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License
    Guest:
    If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.

    Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

  • 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 have [temporarily] moved the post to the moderators forum, here https://forums.grc.com/threads/submit-your-fan-made-spinrite-logos-here-svg-format-only.1130/ (it was in "Coding" which was not the correct place anyway.)

I don't think there is maliciousness here, but I also probably don't think Steve wants this kind of BS either. Anyone who created a logo for a commercial product is going to need to sign their rights away, probably multiple times, before anyone would be crazy enough to risk using a submission. There is no mention of the legalities of it all on the post, and no matter what, I would like feedback from @Steve about whether he is okay with this.
 
Thanks for your consideration, Paul. I'm inclined to think that this is okay and allow it to continue. I suspect it's the sort of thing that arises with "fans" in any venue. And it is my hope that "the return of SpinRite" is something that will be taken up much more widely over time than my own first-person reach. So, I think we ought to allow it. Once these folks actually have SpinRite to use, there will be much less trouble with "idle hands." <g> Thanks!

Okay, thanks for letting us know. I will restore it to a new location, and just add a gentle post about setting people's expectations.

Is there a point at which slow SpinRite performance means the drive is bad?
