So I just ordered my Western Digital WD10EVDS and, just to be prepared, I figured I'd get my copy of wdidle ready to go in case I need to use it. Problem is - a bootable ISO is nowhere to be found from my half hour of searching (granted, I'm not very search-savvy). Found lots of reference to it, but nobody has an actual link to a working file.

I've found wdidle.exe from WD's site easily enough, but how to make an ISO, or where to download a preconfigured ISO (like from rapidsearch or anywhere else) appears to be non-existent.

I've also found instructions linking FDOEMCD.builder.zip from www/fdos/org//bootdisks (sorry can't post URLs directly) but that site is now dead, and I can't find any mirrors.

Can anybody please link or upload a bootable wdidle ISO to help a brother out, or provide a little more instruction? Thanks for anything at all, even a helpful pat on the back!
