Anyone know of an exe that will calculate the CRC value of a physical disk while running off a ram disk? Most I can find calculate values of files only. Thanks. Hippie Joe

I'm not sure what it means to calc the CRC of a physical.

What I ment was to calculate the crc from the first sector to the last sector regardless of partitioning information. usally in windows it is specified by disk0, disk1, disk2... I am looking for a crc dos program that would calc the crc of a disk at the same level as it would in linux if I specified it to calc the drive, hda. thanks

Not much use of such a tool in the DOS world, so I would not expect to find one available.

The question is why? You cannot use the drive for anything. Writing any byte would invalidate the CRC. You can't boot Windows or Linux or any OS that has a swap file.
