While on the subject of software - I'm looking for an ISO for a bootable

So far my searches have only found demos and paid versions.
A guy at work swars by "dban" same dude also thinks spinrite is a good
thing to
run on failing media, so take that with a grain of salt.
ATM: I'm not trying to sort out flaky media - and I have Spintite 6 for when
I do.
It works well most of the time, but gets tangled up on 1Tb or bigger.
It also gave a clean bill of health to a Samsung 500Gb drive that had a
habit of misplacing allocation chains.
If the media's dying spinrite will just wear it out.
a better plan is to use with one of the programs
called ddrescue to copy everything onto stable media.
