DasBoot - 1.0.1

Do you have a shiny new iPod in your pocket ? Or perhaps a flash drive or small portable hard drive ? Now you can turn it into a Mac OS X diagnostic, repair, and maintenance tool. DasBoot™ allows you to take any third party boot CD (such as those shipped by SubRosaSoft.com Inc, Prosoft Engineering Inc, Alsoft Inc, or Micromat Inc) and quickly create a bootable diagnostic device that contains any of your own utilities you may wish to install.

You can use your iPod to boot and repair Mac OS X computers* as needed without erasing it and taking away your ability to play music. With the help of DasBoot™ you get to carry all the tools you'll need with you. But unlike expensive third party alternatives, you'll have plenty of space left over in case you need to recover data.

DasBoot™ devices run software much faster than a CD/DVD repair disk. In addition you can re-configure the device at any time to add new utilities, updated versions of software or newer versions of Mac OS X.

SubRosaSoft DasBoot™ helps you build a pocket-sized toolkit for your Mac - just the way you want it - and it's totally free !! Just plug it in and all your tools will be at your fingertips.

DasBoot™ has been tested with the following disk utilities and data recovery tools, but will also run many others; CopyCatX, FileSalvage, MacForensicsLab, VolumeWorks, Drive Genius, Data Rescue II, DiskWarrior, TechTool Pro

* Note - Users of DasBoot™ must have purchased licenses to install the various disk utilities, and own an appropriate disk utility bootable CD/DVD to use as the source disk. Users who wish to have a forensically sound bootable device should use MacForensicsLab as their source disk.

DasBoot™ is free to download, and may be freely distributed.
