[SLE] [OT] Disk diagnostics

There was a thread a week or so about hard disk (hardware) problems. There is a free utility at http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/B7a.html that will check most SCSI and ATA drives regardless of OS. However, you need Windows to create the boot disk (DR-DOS). I'm not sure, but you may need to have at least one Seagate drive in your system. Looks like there's a 30 day evaluation version at ONtrack too: http://www.ontrack.com/diagnose/. Haven't used this though. M
