To work on the current drive, the DOS version may be needed - I hope they give suitable warnings before doing something unwise.

The other factor (and this is probably locked to WD drives), is that it is always wise to create a bootable floppy of analysis and repair tools BEFORE you need them.

If your hard disc is semi-toasted, running Windows is the last thing you should be trying to do - all those temp files and swapfile being written, that's if it gets that far.
