Check out #SpinRite too while you're there. I've been using that tool for decades, and it has saved me from losing a lot of data.
I tried running #spinrite via #jetkvm, and then tried to run it via a physical thumb drive. Neither seems to work. I guess the next step is to pull the drives and scan them on a second, older PC? 🤷♂️
I spent $90 on a copy of #spinrite from @steve, hoping that I could mount the ISO using @jet's virtual optical disc mounting thing. It didn't seem to want to boot to the ISO, so I might need to figure out how to burn that to a thumb drive.
I think this hard drive has a problem. #Spinrite has been running for more than 24 hours. I hope it's done by next Thursday because I have a podcast to record and this is running on my Skype box.
Cleaning up my USBs finally. Been waiting for this for so long! #spinrite
If like me you bought Spinrite in the past 20 years, you'll be getting a free upgrade notice for version 6.1 @ the email you used when buying it 🤯
I grabbed my free copy, but I bet I never need it. /1

My 2 USB keys booting my freenas NAS failed both around the same time. Thanks to @SGgrc for spinrite, which bring them back online the time to migrate from USB keys to a SSD ! #freenas #spinrite
Time to run @SGgrc #Spinrite then into @SwiftOnSecurity PC maintenance
#Spinrite has been running on this laptop for almost 24hrs, with an estimated 52hrs to go. Level 4 should fix it up
