Put linux on a USB drive with UNetbootin or something and run smartctl. Having an OS on a thumb drive has a lot of other uses, too, including backup of important stuff before you re-do it or being able to run a memory test.

NEVERMIND figured it out myself totally unrelated issue.

I'm having a problem with OpenVPN and a couple certificates I downloaded from GlobalSign so I can use my college's wireless network. Here's some details about the network... Security Type: IEEE 802.1x Authentication SSID: [removed] Network Authentication: WPA2 Data Encryption: AES EAP type: Protected EAP (PEAP) Authentication Method: Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2 ) Credentials: Username and Password Trust Root Certification Authority: GlobalSign Root CA Certificate Issued to: [removed] After I installed the certificate I got this error message from the OpenVPN GUI... Mon Aug 23 22:57:45 2010 OpenVPN 2.1.1 i686-pc-mingw32 [SSL] [LZO2] [PKCS11] built on Dec 11 2009 Mon Aug 23 22:57:45 2010 NOTE: OpenVPN 2.1 requires '--script-security 2' or higher to call user-defined scripts or executables Mon Aug 23 22:57:46 2010 UDPv4 link local: [undef] Mon Aug 23 22:57:46 2010 UDPv4 link remote: [removed] Mon Aug 23 22:57:49 2010 TLS_ERROR: BIO read tls_read_plaintext error: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed Mon Aug 23 22:57:49 2010 TLS Error: TLS object -> incoming plaintext read error Mon Aug 23 22:57:49 2010 TLS Error: TLS handshake failed Mon Aug 23 22:57:49 2010 SIGUSR1[soft,tls-error] received, process restarting And I am totally at a loss here. Any ideas? Oh yeah I run Windows 7 64-bit Home Edition and OpenVPN client 2.1.1 and my OpenVPN server is my dd-wrt router at home with remote SSH management and TCP forwarding enabled.
