Guest Tester Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Hi there, Is there any available hard disk test program for a windows XP PC? Thanks, T
Guest BigJim Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Re: XP/windows hard drive test program if you go to the hard drives manufacturing site you can download diagnostics program. There is no built in hard drive diagnostics in XP. You can run chkdsk from the run command.

Guest David B. Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Re: XP/windows hard drive test program There is no hard drive diags in Windows, figure out who makes your hard drive and visit their website for a diagnostic tool you can download and run. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 How to Post http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm _________________________________________________________________________________ "Tester" <calinguga@netscape.net> wrote in message news:1185202541.805436.228990@d55g2000hsg.googlegroups.com... > Hi there, > Is there any available hard disk test program for a windows XP PC? > Thanks, T >

Hard disk test programs are not for windows. They are either dos based or based on some other non-MS OS.
