Running WDRT device recovery tool on a Apple Mac

[wgrs]

I know, there is no such thing and I need to run it under Windows.

The problem: I don't have a Windows box, only a Mac. And I'm not really excited by the idea to shell out 100+$ for a Windows license just to run the WDRT occasionally.

So what are my options? Is there any (older) Windows which I can obtain for free legally? Maybe a test/demo version or such. Maybe something with a timeout, runs for an hour or so.

Or some VirtualBox solution?

Any hint appreciated!

You could probably get away with installing Windows without a key (it should probably run with a 30-90 day grace period before complaining more) and use that for WDRT uses. Although I have no idea how well it'll work with a VM. I would really try to see if you can try to use a friend's or family's PC.
