[Laz]

This download creates a self-booting DOS diskette to run the DFT utility. The Drive Fitness Test (DFT) provides a quick, reliable method to test SCSI and IDE hard disk drives. The Drive Fitness Test analyze function performs read tests without overwriting customer data. (However, Drive Fitness Test is bundled with some restoration utilities that will overwrite data). Version 3.30 includes the support for the latest drives. The users guide PDF covers how to use Drive Fitness Test and the included utilities.

Thanks for the heads up bud! This is a must have utility if you have an IBM drive.

Know what you mean, if you have a 120GXP drive then this software is like as essential as Windows itself!

Which reminds me, I still have a 40g drive that I have to return to these shmucks!
