Eeyore said:Yes. If only a modern OS would let you do that !
Indeed (notably 'modern' OSes from large multinationals). However, I
do have some pretty useful low-level scsi tools on Unix (SVR4, BSD)
but I cannot down systems to shuffle bus assignments for drive
testing so I appreciate the usefulness of the old Norton tool
and with scsi, one is not hampered by BIOS geometry restrictions
and translations and the tool will work with any drive size
permissible within the standards.
With Diskedit, one can search for a string across the entire drive;
many times this has permitted me to locate and edit a Unix password
file at the sector level, to gain access to and recover a system
lost to its administrator.
