Data Lifeguard Diagnostics 5.19

Where is the bootable CD version of Data Lifeguard Diagnostics v5.19?  The only version on the website is a diskette creator but I don’t have a floppy drive and my motherboard doesn’t even have a floppy controller.  Most new PC’s don’t come with floppy drives anymore.

Out of curiousity did you try it on a flash drive? You probably would also have to change your boot order in BIOS. I’ve read of  few other apps that have worked doing that. On windows 7 the only 2 options to make a password reset disk are floppy disk and flash drive. Almost nobody even includes a floppy drive anymore.
