[wplug] Any hard drive test utilities

[Scott Eicher]

It's not Linux software but you could try the manufacturer of your hard
drive. I know that Maxtor has some free software that creates a boot disk
which can be used to do all kinds of hard drive testing and certification.

Does anyone know of a hard disk test program that is not SCANDISK?

Something that boots from it's own floppy or CD.

Any opinions about PC Doctor?

I needed to test a drive the other day and used SCANDISK in surface scan
mode 
since nothing else was at hand.


Thanks,

Bob
