Me either. Unless it's in the documentation... I should point out too, that there may be a problem which causes the SMART tools to display errors sometimes when theres nothing there. Dig around IBMs web page (storage.ibm.com iirc). They have floppy images containing stand alone drive testers, which test SMART as well as other things. Might want to give the drive a look over with that. regards, Dave. -- | Dave Jones. http://www.suse.de/~davej | SuSE Labs

Not true. TuffTest is a self contained OS. Seatools uses DR-DOS but tools works with any OS. Essentiallly these are all low-level tools and do not care what OS is installed. Some of the tools (if not all) require Windows to create the bootable floppy. That's all. Seatools needs to see at least one Seagate drive but will work on all installed. I guess that this is the same for most of the manufacturers software. M -- Martin Webster <mwebster@ntlworld.com> Registered Linux User #230322 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/spider-monkey/

On Sat, 29 Sep 2001 12:26:34 -0400 (EDT) Hello landie from Lourens: " yes but their tool are for windows and not linux " ?? The download pages contains the following: To create a bootable DFT diskette under Linux: Download the bootable version of DFT (dft-v210img.bin) into a known directory on your PC. Insert a formatted 1.44 MB diskette into your disk drive. Make sure that the floppy disk is unmounted. Change directory to where you saved the DFT image. Run the Disk Dump (dd) utility with the following parameters: dd if=dft-v210img.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=8k Note: /dev/fd0 is the first diskette drive. Use /dev/fd1 if you would like to use the second diskette drive to create the DFT diskette. The bootable DFT diskette will now be created, Note this could take a couple of minutes .
