Hi FSCK, To celebrate a successful semester, I have released a new version of Flash Magic today. For those who are new to it, Flash Magic is the Swiss Army Knife for your system work, including but not limited to making hard disk images, diagnosing failures in hardware/software, restoring deleted data, recovering lost passwords, resizing partitions,... on Linux & Windows systems, and it actually is a bunch of tools. It can be installed on USB flash drives (therefore the name Flash Magic) for you to carry around helping your friends.
This is Flash Magic "Walrus" RC1 (as opposed to Ubuntu "Monkey") with the following changes: - Now you can clone Flash Magic USB drives on Windows also (it used to be Linux only). Feel free to make copies of Flash Magic. - Updated to upstream Parted Magic 4.10 with new Super Grub boot disk 1 & 2 (allows you to retore GRUB 1 & 2 if Windows installation messes up your bootloader), Hardware detection tool and S.M.A.R.T reporting tool. - Memtest86+ entry is fixed! You can test your memory now. - Syslinux updated to 3.85. You should no longer receive error messages in Windows Vista/7 chainloaders. To make a Windows installation drive, just FlashMagic a drive and copy the structure of the Windows installation disc to it.
