This is a bit off-topic maybe. Somebody mentioned SpinRite the other day in the context of disk recovery so I investigated the grc.com site. Apparently SpinRite 6.0 supports Linux filesystems via a DOS program, but the user does not need to own DOS. It sounded like worthwhile insurance, so I paid for the licence and downloaded the .exe and went back to the site for information on how to use it. Nothing doing, so I emailed support only to get the runaround. No actual help, just a pointer to the author's email service. On closer inspection it turns out that he does not answer individual queries, so support is actually non-existent. And, his last email bulletin dates back to the beginning of 2002, before SpinRite 6 and before Linux support. ??
My assumption was that the file should be turned into an ISO and burnt to CD. That would leave the question of DOS. The files at bootdisk.com all seem to be .exes, which I assumed are self-extracting versions of DOS to be copied to a floppy, which would require Windows or DOS to run, and a FAT partition as well. So, should I ask for my money back? -- Len Lawrence
