Hi,

Whilst trying to determine the hardware on my Dell D800, I realised I don't have a bootable CD that I could drop into a CDROM and go from there.
I used to use Hiren's.
But I am wondering if there is something that might be better?

Just on a side note, HWInfo for DOS Doesn't seem to detect all of the hardware in the D800.

Regards,
Craig

There's many Linux live cds out there that at least recognize a bunch of hardware from device IDs (but not necessarily have the proper drivers for them)
