G+_John Mink Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Update: I got the disk to work (thanks to Dan Clark). I think the time estimate by itself shows a significant problem. (over 3600 hours & growing). And this is for a Level 1 test....of a SSD >_< but i'm only 10 minutes in, maybe it'll speed up by a factor of 10 or 100? shrug Has anyone setup Spinrite in a VM? This is going to sound stupid, since I do have the VM with Spinrite running just fine. But I can't , for the life of me, figure out how to actually mount a physical drive without a terminal inside the Virtual OS.... Currently using VirtualBox, let me know how you people do it. Sadly, I don't have a spare computer I can just run for hours or days, and I don't want to rush spinrite! PS: Tried Google, but I could have always missed a nice existing how-to on this topic (or a good explaination why this would never work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_John Mink Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Dan Clark yeah, I've heard. But I just RMAed this drive, so it shouldn't take that long ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
