I replaced my wife's laptop HDD since the old one started to make clicking noises and at times would lock up on boot. I currently have the old on in an external HDD enclosure and would like to find some utility or test application that can test the HDD for damage. Any advice?
It is a Hitachi Travelstar 40GB.
I have the drive fitness test from Hitachi's site, but I think that I need to reinstall the HDD into the laptop to run the test from a bootable floppy.
Thanks,
Jerold
