Running Spinrite from Linux?

[Janina Sajka]

Forget about running the program from Linux. You can't. I'll bet an
month of unemployment checks on it! <grin>

Please note: Having an executable that can read and write different
types of file systems partition tables is not the same thing as an
executable that can run under different OS. There's plenty of the
former, including some excellent tools under Linux that you probably
already have installed. There's none of the latter.

PS: The Linux tools are 100% accessible. Promise.

Now, why not boot into single user mode and let one of those fsck apps
go at your /dev/hd whatever it is.
