Verktøy for sletting og testing av harddisken.

Det har ikke noe med Linux å gjøre.
Det har med test av hardware å gjøre.
De fleste produsenter bruker DR-DOS for å boote maskinen.

Det finnes verktøy for Windows også.


F.eks Western Digital Harddisk:

Det finnes verktøy som kjører i DR-DOS - velg dette.

Etter du har generert disketten så booter du på den og følger instruksjonene.
Det finnes også for CDR for de som ikke har Diskettdrev.

************************

Det kan fort lønne seg å teste ett brukt drev før det brukes tid på å
ta det i bruk.
Spesielt hvis det skal brukes til backup.
Det er ikke alle harddisker som varer 5 år.
