Subject: Re: Why dosemu can not access internal harddisks while running from latest GRML in live CD mode?

Dear syr,
Thank You very much for Yours help.
Yes, You had right. GRML is including precompiled Speakup in kernel and 
Speakup is able to use Espeak synthesizer and because Dosemu is 
professionally preconfigured, i can run Dosemu from one of The virtual 
consoles and i can read The dos programs messages by using Speakup 
screen reader.
Program HDD Regenerator 2011 is using .exe program for DOS for searching 
bad harddrive sectors and according to The programmer, it can repair 
physically damaged sectors.
I have Toshiba satellite notebook and my second harddrive is having some 
bad sectors according to The smart test included in many programs 
including Diskutility included with Ubuntu.
My first harddrive started to have even 11 bad sectors and it started to 
be more and more slover and it finished by The situation, that harddisk 
heads were worked constantly and harddrive have been cycled in The self 
test mode so even Linux kernel were not able to find this device.
I would like to know, if it is possibility to repair hydden sectors, 
which are being hydden by The smart function. Because i think, that 
every harddrive is having some place to store bad sectors on it, and 
when this place started to be full, it start to unhyde those bad sectors 
and even Windows or other operating system kernel is able to find those 
sectors unusable.
I Am very gently to my computers and i AM very sad, that second harddisk 
is containing those bad sectors.
Firstly, there were 5 bad sectors and 6 or 8 weeks later there was 7 bad 
sectors.
If will be more than 10 bad sectors, it will start to blocking Windows 
kernel and i will get errors that system can't read or write from The 
specific sectors.
When i have tried HDD Regenerator 2011 with my mother, program did not 
find bad sectors but i think, that program is also depend on BIOS 
services for accessing sectors and that bad sectors will be only 
awailable for HDD Regenerator 2011 to repair it when harddisk will 
contain more than 10  bad sectors.
So by The others words, i AM searching for program to repair Toshiba 
manufactured harddisk.
Do You think, that it is possible to connect other than Toshiba harddisk 
to My notebook? Or BIOS or other build in software modules will only 
cooperate with their harddisks?
If i will have to be forced to change thirt harddisk, it is very 
unpleasant think.
I Am afraid, that i will be forced to use Linux in live Mode and 
external harddrive for data storage, but because in live Mode system is 
using RAM for storing .tmp files, it is not very practic approach.
And i Am having big issue, i can not find The kernel device driver for 
The Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20) device.
May be, that this kernel device driver not exist.
I can make my Ubuntu or debian remaster, it is not issue for Me, i know 
about Remastersys or Tux2live, so there are possibility.
I have also PCLINUX OS ZEN Mini from Year 2009 and this distro is 
containing ammazing remastering script, user is even able to remaster 
from running live CD by specifiing The target partition. It is sad, that 
this is not possible when using Debian based kernels.
