What I want to do is to create a bootable disk or usb that also includes spinrite on it. I have contacted Gibson research about this and tried what has been suggested, but that doesn’t work.

I’ve never had problems running and creating bootable disks with spinrite on XP with my old computer, but the new one, a HP Pavilion P6000 series, has me stumped.

Below is what Sprinrite has suggested-

“Unfortunately, FreeDOS may be having a problem on your system.

So, you will need to create a MS-DOS boot diskette instead.

If you have a floppy drive (if not skip down to make a CD or further down to make a USB key) . . . from within WinXP you insert a blank (or erasable) floppy diskette into the A: drive, you can then right-click on the A: drive in explorer and choose format.In the format dialog box there should be an option to 'Make Disk Bootable'

or possibly 'Create MS-DOS Boot Disk'.Choose the option you see and you will then have a bootable DOS diskette.

Once created, copy the SPINRITE.EXE file you already have.Then after you boot clean and get to the A: prompt,

typespinriteto start the program manually.

Making a boot CD . . .

If you have a CD-R drive, you can get an ISO image of a 'Windows 98 SE Boot CD' here . . .

Once created, boot with the above CD and then once at the DOS prompt

put in the SpinRite CD and typespinriteat the DOS prompt to

start SpinRite manually.

The A: prompt is a pseudo prompt.During the boot process, just above the A: prompt, there is probably a listing for the CD-ROM drives.Which ever letter it shows (in my case it shows F:), that is the drive you need to switch to first, then put in the SpinRite CD and type SpinRite at that prompt.

Making a boot USB key . . .

If your system can boot a USB device, here is some basic instructions for making a bootable USB key.

HP makes an easy to use utility called HP USB Disk Format Tool, which includes a 'Create a DOS Startup Disk' option.It's available for free download at <http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197> along with the Windows 98/DOS boot files <http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=196>.

You can use the HP tool and point it at a directory where you unzip the DOS boot files and it automatically builds a bootable DOS USB key using those files.Then, copy the SPINRITE.EXE file to that device.Once done, reboot the system and at the DOS prompt,

typespinriteto start SpinRite manually.”
