About the stupidity at WD to pack Dos programs in Windows EXEs

Why the **** should I now suddenly use a CD to get this test finally running?
Do you genius even know if all of my boxes do have a CD drive or can boot
off of one?

Why not go to the ISS and try it from a space orbit or maybe even better,
ask an alien for help?

I thought it was a "bootdisk" topic, not the diagnostic disk ...I was

A linux or Dos user wouldn't need a WD "boot disk" or "easy install" stuff,
but might need the disk to do diagnostics or turn on/off DMA etc.. To
require a 32 bit OS to make a dos diagnostic disk is as stupid as telling a
user with a modem problem to "check the info at our web site".... It would
be simple to use a dos program that would require you to agree to their
licence, just whoever was doing this only knew how to do it in win32.

Exactly that's the point.

Someone now started a thread about this issue directly in the WD forum at
http://websupport.wdc.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1800
