    CrashReporter and spindump in Leopard

    I've seen Force Quit (Apple-option-esc) repeatably cause spindump to run - that is, just opening Force Quit, without actually force-quitting anything!

    Boot to DOS on Intel Macbook

    The info on SpinRite itself is contradictory. From the documentation: But the interview says SpinRite is very dependent on the BIOS.

    Boot to DOS on Intel Macbook

    I don't think I'm saying that at. Perhaps you misinterpreted "supposed to be bootable", by which I was simply differentiating from something that was "not supposed to be bootable", such as a pure data volume. I'm not saying an Intel Mac can boot into and run DOS programs... I'm asking if/how...

    Boot to DOS on Intel Macbook

    There are 3 CDs I tried to boot. The SpinRite one (commercial software; can't just give you a copy). SystemRescueCD 1.0.4 downloaded and booted fine CD ISO image of MHDD (ver4.6, off HDDguru.com) that is supposed to be bootable, but it wouldn't boot in my MBP. I don't think it was...

I did find a CD ISO image of MHDD (ver4.6, off HDDguru.com) that is supposed to be bootable, but...

    Boot to DOS on Intel Macbook

    Reviving this ancient thread. I want to run SpinRite w/o removing the HD of a MBP (it takes a long time with a MacBook Pro, unlike with a MacBook). As reported elsewhere, a normal SpinRite (FreeDOS-based) CD will boot on an Intel Mac such as the MacBook Pro (I've done this myself.) But it...
