G+_Mike Robinson Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 How about a episode on running spinrite inside a VM? I would like to scan hard drives on my computer without taking the drive off line for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Bram Moerman Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Actually, a step-by-step for running spinrite without having a floppy drive, showing Bios setting requirements, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_610GARAGE Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I don't think it is possible to rub spinright on a vm. It requires direct access to bios and the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mike Robinson Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 610bob it is possible. Virtual box has a form of bios and it will allow spinrite to run faster. Steve Gibson talked a little bit about it on security now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mike Robinson Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 And as far as the hard drive there is some command line fu that will allow it to see the drive. That is where I run into problems getting it to work my command line fu isn't as strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
