As it stands, any registered owner will get access to any 6.x release. on the spinrite web site and couldn't find this explicitly stated anywhere (though I'm sure I overlooked it).
I doubt you will find it. Steve rarely puts 'future versions' in print until they are shipping products. You'll have to hang out here (or ask periodically).
Also, when is 6.1 coming out? WIR;-) Seriously, there is no fixed timetable I know of, but SG has stated that it is a 'high priority' on his infinitely long ToDo list FWIW.
You want a pure guess? Before Autumn. Steve did post the following: - After SR v6.0, I want to create the 'one click' online drive checkup database.
GRC desperately needs some SPAM relief, so I want to explore some ideas for a solution I have along those lines, and it might become a product too. Then I want to take SR6 up to v6.1, and shortly thereafter introduce Beyond Recall - which won't be a big deal to develop since it will borrow so much from SR6's technology. Then I want to do a third disk-related mystery product. He tends to work any given project until he is happy with it. From past experience, he will not give himself a specific deadline, for fear of releasing something that doesn't work right. So, it'll come, but no one is sure when.

for the unabridged version, see bb's post above Predicting release dates is something Steve will not do. The experience of Spinrite 3.1 permamently 'cured' him of that disease. It's more than that, really. Predicting release dates is not something I am ABLE to do, even if I wanted to. I just cannot. Last year, when there was danger of the California anti-spam legislation preventing me from ever being able to use my mailing list again, I was thinking that I'd whip out SR6 by December and cram out a mailing before the New Year. And here we are in mid June with SR6 only in its third public week.

The experience of Spinrite 3.1 permamently 'cured' him of that disease. Hang around here and you'll know sooner than the world will. The real disease is that of business interests forcing the programmer (an artistic endeavor) to predict a release date and then uses that date to bludgeon the programmer into unrealistic efforts to meet that date. Nothing stifles creativity more that regularly beating the programmer.
In fact this activity can only result in the quitting of the programmer or the release of an inferior program at a much later date. The guy making the business plan, by virtue of his time line focus, is simply incapable of understanding what the programmer is doing.
In the grc.spinrite forum, I posted a situation that I am having with a 2TB drive. I have 8 consecutive bad sectors (3,188,632,392 through 3,188,632,399 on a 2TB drive of 3,907,029,168 total sectors).

My cloning software sees that these sectors are bad, but SpinRite does not. When I run SpinRite within a range to specifically target those bad sectors, for some reason SpinRite just keeps going to completion without starting up the dynastat process. Milton in the grc.spinrite forum suggested that it could be an issue of 'a drive of 4KB physical sectors masquerading as a. Appointment booking pro nulled. My old PC is retired as a backup now, but I recently had to replace its HD, and decided to compare SpinRite 6's performance with what I had previously gotten with SpinRite 5. Platform: Intel AL440LX motherboard, 333GHz CPU, 320MB 66MHz RAM SpinRite 5 (level 5) / Western Digital 6.4GB 5400RPM HD / FAT32 - 40 hours (0.16 GB/hour) SpinRite 6 (level 5) / Maxtor 80GB (76GB actual) 7200RPM HD / NTFS - 6.5 hours (11.7 GB/hour) That's a pretty big speed increase. Some of its due to the faster HD, but I think it's mostly due to SpinRite 6.:) Platform: Inte. Please correct me if I am wrong, but there has been no update to SR6 since release 1 in 2004, right?

Hello, i read a lot for spinrite 6.0, noting spinrite 6,1 is still under development. Ithought it would be a good way, to improve spinrite's diagnostics (not that tey are bad, they are the best available on the market) but still it is good idea in my eyes. I know how deep spinrite takes the idea of good diagnostics, reading the documwntation of spinrite the user's manual, user's manual addendum, the under the hood pdf files carefully and in detail, seeing how laws of magnetism, megnetodynamics and electromagnetism work in a hard drive, and how all this is used to.
Are we looking at an update this year? SATA drives are increasingly dropping legacy support Please. pdm for the unabridged version, see peter mclinn's post above Are we looking at an update this year? SATA drives are increasingly dropping legacy support Please. It's now the next major development project I will pursue.
I'm at work on wrapping up the few pending things that need to get completed so that all their work and value isn't lost. Then it's on to SpinRite v6.1 as soon as possible. Steve if we could tear you away from your PDP8 for a moment we could really do with Spinrite 6.1 that will handle SATA drives please?

Dear Steve, It would be great if Spinrite was compatible with virtual machines. Thus the physical hardware would not need to be dedicated to only Spinrite operation.
I'm offering to help test against Linux KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine). It is full virtualization, thus a good chance of success, as opposed to some of the other virtualization technologies. My geek-fu is strong, so I won't need much hand-holding;) Cheers, Tyson - tyson.hilmer.com Star date 47351.99 Tyson transmitted: It would be great if Spinrite was compatible with virtual mac.

Hi all I have just joined this Newsgroup to try to find out what is happening to the terrific developments for SpinRite. I subscribe to Security Now in hope that I'd hear about the progress. But nothing in the past few months!
As we all know Steve's Brilliant Idea of SQRL has taken up a huge amount of his time. The NSA's dabbling in everybodies lives makes this not just important from a security point of view ( stopping the bad guys) but also important to the personal privacy and liberty of the whole world. However today I have now discovered that there is st. I received a popup for version 1.1.6.16 and updated.

Any Ideas when the next version of Spinrite is coming out. Fat 16/32 drives are pretty much obsolete, especially since companies have mostly gone to Windows 2000/XP on the desktop. Or is spinrite ever go. I would appreciate some advice to influence a decision on whether to buy Spinrite 6; I haven't used Spinrite before.
Is there a recommended sequence to running Spinrite 6 for maintenance? For example, would it be level 1 first then either 3 or 4 to fix surface or error problems? In laymen's terms what is the difference between levels 3 and 4 and, what are the end results? Finally, would Spinrite be the solution when Partition Magic goes occasionally goes awry and states that all partitions are unreadable?. John John Boy wrote: I would appreciate some advic.
