Re: update or change

Don't have experience with Mac RAID volumes, but to my limited knowledge, GPartEd does work on Windows RAID volumes, at least on older versions of Windows Server. But an open-source project like GPartEd is always playing catchup with the commercial companies due to the proprietary nature of their fi...

Re: IBM/Hitachi Hard Drive Testing Tool query

Does it have anything to do with the mouse driver?

In UBCD V5.3.3, the mouse driver for Drive Fitness Test has been disabled in AUTOEXEC.BAT. See if it helps.

Re: UBCD V5.3.2 available for download

Shellshock fix for MSYS bash The new 'msys-1.0.dll" has a whole new bunch of dependencies I am not sure it's worthwhile to include, so I am going to KIV. Within the context of UBCD, the shellshock bug should have close to zero impact given the restricted use case. Testdisk and Photorec 7.0 WIP...

Re: Mouse driver Hitachi HDD diag

DFT has its own boot image, and is not based off FDUBCD.

Anyway, I have REM-ed out the mouse driver in AUTOEXEC.BAT for the next release and see how it goes. Don't think the mouse driver is crucial to the utility.

Re: Suggestions for replacement of Parted Magic

SpaceFM is not going to receive any additional features. If there is some serious bug report, then it _might_, _perhaps_, be fixed at some point. So, although I like SpaceFM and it is currently not failing, it might be wise to at least have an eye opened looking for some potential replacement in so...
