Might want to consider this for your next hard drive purchase. Tried to get a diagnostics program for a Western Digital hard drive that I suspect might be giving me problems. They ONLY have it for the windoz flavors. I don't believe it !!!
Typically, it is a download file which when run in windows creates a bootable floppy disk, which in fact runs plain dos. I don't know about WD.
Notice that testing a HD inside windows is asking for trouble...
I believe Carlos is correct in that assumption for WD. But then you have to seek out a Windoz machine to do that. I did it once for a Maxtor quite awhile ago. Don't remember how I got it but pretty sure it was a Dos floppy. Guess my new system is going to have Seagate drives. Don't know about Wine. Don't use it. Danny !!! WAIT ! Please, not the Grammar Police ! Oh No !! Just me ??? or Don too ?? Bob S.
