What does it mean the free one 'can only be used if the system is running DOS (for example started from a DOS boot floppy disk). Under Windows DOS-box it is NOT working." What's windows dos box, the command prompt?
Hi, David. You need to create bootable media and boot to it to use the DOS Edition. Have a read about it here.
Hi Hadron He says it needs dos not the dos box https://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_sentinel_dos.php Is the dos box the command prompt? I don't think i have dos
