Thus Oralux could be one (of the more) valuable help for Windows visually
impaired people to repair a bad disk. Amazing, isn't it ?
I'm not really sure why it works now but what I di was boot into oralux and
wipe everything off the drive.
$ su -
# cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda
Then, when I installed Windows, it did a scandisk (I think). I have some
vision and I could see that the screen was blue (cyan?) for quite some
time. I almost pressed the reset button but I thought maybe I'd let it go
and see what happened. Eventually, it came up in Windows.
I had already tried installing Windows on this machine and it came up with
an error that it couldn't write some file. I got sighted assistance to
find out what the error was but I don't recall exactly what it was. So
maybe zeroing out the drive fixed something or other or made the Windows
installer re-do something it had skipped earlier.
It did not do the scan the first time I installed Windows.
