Don't know which make of HDD ,but noticed that this prog does diagnose a lot of makers HDD.But then ,a lot are Seagate/Maxtor . tRY -http://www.hddoctor.net/hard-drive-diagnostic-software-seagate-seatools/
Was powermax, but think it's changed to Seatools -and now available for DOS( put on floppy and boot from A drive) & Windows .( but can't see how much use this is if HDD got problems) .
Also found Powermax as a download on Seagate site ,and here -http://wareseeker.com/free-powermax/
I had an old Hitachi disk which gave problems and Powermax diagnosed surface problems -let me change it early under warranty .Powermax also has a repair facility - but leave it up to the computer whiz kids to say how good it is .
