The simple truth is that bringing the 17-year-old, circa 2004 SpinRite v6.0 current - with everything we want it to be in 2021 and beyond - is a huge amount of work. This forum is for support of released GRC products, including SpinRite 6.1 after it is eventually released.Ĭlick to expand.Right. UEFI boot capability will be in a future SpinRite version.Īnd yes, the NG is the place to report any development test results, as said. One final note: The above is for BIOS boot machines only. A new SR-R05.exe release should be available in the near future. Steve has figured that out, made additional tweaks to the new benchmarking code in SpinRite 6.1, and is testing it.

The latest SpinRite demo is SR-R04,exe, which has an issue with older Intel chip sets running in ATA mode (R04 hangs hard). At that point you may either (a) press Enter to run ReadSpeed and benchmark your drives to see what they are doing or (b) press ESC to exit ReadSpeed to a DOS prompt for running a SpinRite demo. Note: When the USB stick is first created, RS.exe is placed on it and runs at boot-up, displaying the ReadSpeed splash screen. Just download the desired SR-R0x.exe from the above link to the prepared USB stick, boot from it and run. Download the ReadSpeed for Windows tool (if you are running Windows) and run it to prepare a USB stick for booting a custom environment for running RS.exe (the DOS executable ReadSpeed benchmark tool) or any released SpinRite development demo.
