Sir_Siddy Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hey guys its been a while,I think my harddrive in my laptop may be failing and im looking around for some way to test it. I remember there being a modified knoppix disk that did just that. Anybody remember what it was called? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 You should be able to test the drive with the manufacturers utility no matter what OS is on the drive. Knoppix Live CD itself may have the utilities on it which should be an option offered at bootup.Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities Quote Link to post Share on other sites
