To all who contributed, thanks. I finally found a way to do what I set out to do, i.e. run the SpiinRite utility. Here's what happened: - Initial problem was I was unable to boot from the CD-ROM which had the SpinRite (Version 6.0) executable on it. - Finally managed to get BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM by re-arranging the boot order in the LEGACY BIOS (If I selected the EUFI BIOS the bootable drive which appeared was my SSD, no USB, no CD-ROM, nothing. - However, once SpinRite booted up it was not able to run (I think this is because it was Version 6.0 which came out in 2004). I went to developer web site (Gibson Research) and downloaded the latest SpinRite version, 6.1, which just was released. I loaded it onto a USB flash drive and when I ran this version it worked just fine and I accomplished what I had originally had intended to do, YEAH! (I had re-arranged the boot order on the LEGACY BIOS putting USB first) - Finally, the anomaly with my BIOS that I originally described as my problem: I was unaware that there were TWO BIOS's I could use, LEGACY and EUFI. If I used the EUFI I could only boot from the SSD, so that was no help to me. If I used the LEGACY I could select the boot source BUT when I was done with the SpinRite utility and wanted to get back to Windows I ended up in a loop because it would not let me past the drive I had booted SpinRite from, the USB drive. To escape the loop I had to return to the BIOS Setup Utility and switch back to the EUFI BIOS; it worked and I was back to Windows . . . thank God. LESSON LEARNED: I'm not familiar enough with a EUFI BIOS to know how to get it to recognized bootable drives OTHER THAN the SSD hard drive. So, in the future if I want to boot off anything other than the hard drive I guess I'm going to have to switch to the LEGACY to the work, and then switch back to the EUFI. Thanks again for your assistance, Steve -

Mozilla sent Firefox Version 125.0.1 to the release channel. Firefox ESR was updated to Version 115.9.1. The update includes fifteen security updates of which nine (9) are rated high, five (5) are rated moderate, and one (1) is rated low. New Firefox now supports the AV1 codec for Encrypted Media Extensions (EME), enabling higher-quality playback from video streaming providers. The Firefox PDF viewer now supports text highlighting. Firefox View now displays pinned tabs in the Open tabs section. Tab indicators have also been added to Open tabs, so users can do things like see which tabs are playing media and quickly mute or unmute across windows. Indicators were also added for bookmarks, tabs with notifications, and more! Firefox now prompts users in the US and Canada to save their addresses upon submitting an address form, allowing Firefox to autofill stored address information in the future. Firefox now more proactively blocks downloads from URLs that are considered to be potentially untrustworthy. The URL Paste Suggestion feature provides a convenient way for users to quickly visit URLs copied to the clipboard in the address bar of Firefox. When the clipboard contains a URL and the URL bar is focused, an autocomplete result appears automatically. Activating the clipboard suggestion will navigate the user to the URL with 1 click. Users of tab-specific Container add-ons can now search in the Address Bar for tabs that are open in different containers. Special thanks to volunteer contributor atararx for kicking off the work on this feature! Firefox now provides an option to enable Web Proxy Auto-Discovery (WPAD) while configured to use system proxy settings. Changed In a group of radio buttons where no option is selected, the tab key now only reaches the first option rather than cycling through all available options. The arrow keys navigate between options as they do when there is a selected option. This makes keyboard navigation more efficient and consistent. Update: To get the update now, select "Help" from the Firefox menu, then pick "About Firefox." Mac users need to select "About Firefox" from the Firefox menu. If you do not use the English language version, Fully Localized Versions are available for download. References Security Updates Release Notes Rapid Release Calendar ESR Release Notes -
