You can do that even if it won't boot? How?
Are these commercial programs or can you download them?
I use Gateway's gwscan (rebadged data lifeguard program from
western digital). Try the drive manufacturer's support web
site. They usually have diag programs for their drives. These
usually use ms dos or dr dos to boot themselves and check the
drive at the raw bits and bytes level, not the file or os
level.
BTW some Dell's use a key combo during the bios post that will
bring up Dell's diagnostics program. But I can never remember
what that key combo is. :)
