useful FREE computer tools (NoScript, TestDisk)

saw this at aron's (for Firefox) :

NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Flock, Seamonkey and other mozilla-based browsers: this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank), and provides the most powerful Anti-XSS protection available in a browser.

TestDisk

had this exact problem described here:

http://mypkb.wordpress.com/2007/03/28/h ... sic-disks/

(i.e. needed to change a dynamic disk to basic) and found it on the 'net. Tried it and it works! Disk boots up, read and writes, but for some reason there is a limit on the name length for new files (weird but minor).

TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.
