FlashBoot 1.3.128

FlashBoot 1.3.128 - 2.9 MB

FlashBoot is a tool that makes USB disks bootable. It was specially designed to work with USB Flash devices. It is used to reformat flash disk (that's optional) and transfer system files to it. You have many options for your choice:
  • convert BartPE bootable CD-ROM to bootable USB disk
  • transfer DOS kernel only (you may get the files from installed Windows 9x, from Windows 9x setup folder, or use built-in FreeDOS)
  • convert floppy disk to USB Flash disk (a diskette or an image file may be used)
  • convert a bootable CD-ROM to USB Flash disk (again images are supported). There are some technical difficulties with supporting any type of CD-ROM here, see details below. But there should be no troubles with the most real cases. You may convert Knoppix and EBCD, for instance.
  • create Windows NT/2000/XP password recovery disk
  • create disk with NT/2000/XP bootloader. It would be useful when you have mistakenly configured it, and boot.ini file was left on unreachable disk (NTFS).
  • duplicate USB flash disk. Just creates a copy of existing disk USB flash disk, different sizes of source and destination medias are OK.

Types of convertible CD-ROMs include so-called 1.44-floppy emulation bootable CD-ROMs and no-emulation CD-ROMs based on ISOLinux.
FlashBoot is designed to be compatible with all types of bootable USB Flash disks, i.e. it is not binded to Transend, Kingston, HP, or to any other particular manufacturer of USB Flash disks.
FlashBoot is designed to be compatible with most of the BIOSes. Some of them require USB disk to be partitioned (USB-HDD mode), some of them require superfloppy format (USB-ZIP mode). You may choose disk format type between partitioned disk and superfloppy, when formatting your USB Flash disk with FlashBoot (if you choose to reformat). You may write the output to image file, transfer it to another PC and write it to physical device there (either with FlashBoot or with any other suitable tool, for example, with Linux dd command).

SoundCheck 3.0.1001

SoundCheck 3.0.1001 - 1.2 MB

PassMark SoundCheck™ is a Windows based application that allows users to test their PC sound card, speakers and microphone. Verify that your sound card can record and playback sounds at various audio sample rates. Check the capability of your speakers to reproduce the highest and lowest frequencies (and your capability to hear these frequencies). Create perfectly formed test tones and loop them back into your sound card to look for distortion using PassMark audio loopback cables. SoundCheck also provides an audio FX test and a surround sound test to analyse those advanced sound card features.
Stereo or mono sound can be recorded and played back at a variety of sample rates and resolutions. SoundCheck includes a built-in tone generator that allows test tones to be generated at a selected frequency and sampling rate. This can be done using waveforms such as sine waves, saw tooth waves, white noise, and square waves. The waveform can be plotted and frequency spectrum graphed in real time using fast Fourier transform algorithms.
  • Test the range of your speakers and hearing
  • Simultaneous sound recording a playback (with full duplex sound cards)
  • A comprehensive help file.
  • Real time waveform display (like an oscilloscope)
  • Real time sprectum display using fast Fourier transforms
  • Adjustable frame rate for slower PCs
  • Selectable sample rates from 5000Hz to 128,000Hz
  • Stereo and mono recording a playback
  • 8, 16 and 24bit recording and playback
  • Input and output data rate measurement
  • Source device selection when multiple sound devices are installed
  • Test tone generation at any frequency and amplitude
  • Tone generation using sine waves, square waves, saw tooth waves, spikes and white noise.
  • SoundCheck generates perfectly formed synthetic waves using the tone generation (rather than playing back recorded wave files)
