Ultimate Boot CD

As soon as I got the CD built, this is the 1st thing I tried as I had used the Fujitsu 6.9 proggy already and it cannot map out 4 badspots!!!

Okay, so start Salvation gives me a buncha jibberish...

then I see some messages about relocating memory and such...

At the bottom of the screen, I have:


......!


And it's just stopped! Am I not waiting (~20 sec.) long enough or is THAT the test? I looked on the CD from WIndows for the proggy itself and I can't find it.

I have a hardware isssue? Memtest it?

Hmm...


.....

If you can't find the program on the CD, either it is stored in a floppy image (which itself may be compressed), or you just didn't search well enough.
And I don't see the point with your weird poll.

I went to the author's site and got "HDD Salvation 3.0" and wrote the .iso to a CD.

Booted that AND it's yet ANOTHER DEMO!!!

On top of this, it corrupted C:\windows\system32\config\system and made
the damned disk UNBOOTABLE!

Heads up people... this CD is LOADED with DEMO "wares" unemployed programmers are hawking!

Yes Constance, I do APOLOGIZE for the poll above. I THOUGHT
I had found a legitimate "FREE product" which lived up to expectations.
But in all honesty, the guy on eBay is selling DEMOS!!! He probably
doesn't even know it.

The only way you can manipulate bad block tables is via Unix/Linux/Knoppix/SCO/etc.
This is due to the O.S. NOT being associated with ANY corporation!
Fuji/Hitachi/Toshiba/Maxtor/Seagate/etc. can NOT release actual repair programs
on their sites as they would lose sales!

If you find a cure for cancer, what do you have? ~200 million (more?) unemployed people!

The only reason I got this was because I could not remember which executable in Knoppix
(3.2 anyway) has the disk formatting program which allows you to format or manipulate the thing
while booted. It is a proggy which has a vast menu in it, giving selections of disks, boot image filesystem
types and I believe a badblock (MANUAL) writing option.

Anybody remember the name of that executable?


THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH! How's that "Constance", happy now?

There ya go, kids... have at it!

Shareware license = $9.99

My ebooks sell for more than that.


Forgive me if I'm so irritated, but after ALL the lead paint in toys and
anti freeze in toothpaste... IF I had known this was yet another cheap
Asian product, I would not have bothered.
