A short update on my efforts ...
The Fujitsu-OnRack version did what was to be expected: it checks and
sees that there is no Fujitsu drive in the PC and stops :-)
Sorry to say that the version from Pete is for Western Digital drives
and shows the same behaviour :-(
I found a gfew manufacturer versions, but not for HP &%$#@!&
However, there is till hope at 2 fronts: the version Dave will dig up,
and there is one on auction at eBay (for just a few $$). If I will be
the lucky winner I will share the data on the disk with everybody that
is interested in a copy. It looks like this is an *original* OnTrack
version that works with drives of any manufacturer. It's version 7 ...
I'll report back later.
Maybe this is a dumb suggestion, in which case I invite folks to throw
pies at me while I'm stripped down nekkid (note: I might like it), but
what about using a boot manager instead? Would it not accomplish the same
thing?
To that end, this looks promising:
