Hardware Testing with Parted Magic

Anyone try the new version with GUI for ddrescue?

Figures, just after I'm starting to understand it.

Your thoughts?

haven't seen this mentioned here, but this is cool:
From the news page

"This version of Parted Magic includes a new GUI for Secure Erase, a GUI for DDRescue, it now boots normally on Windows 8 machines with Secure Boot enabled, a completely new layout for the panel menu, and many updated programs.
........
That's right, you no longer need to disable Secure Boot on Windows 8 machines to use Parted Magic. "

Thanks for mentioning that. I haven't tried it yet, but I am also curious about whether it allows for PXE without disabling secure boot. Seems like it should. I'll have to experiment when I get time.
