Hitachi / IBM ::: http://www.hitachigst.com :::Drive Fitness Testuntersucht Festplatten-Laufwerke auf Hardware-Fehler.
Der eigentliche Zweck des Drive Fitness Tests ist es,
Festplatten zu untersuchen, solange sie noch in einem Rechner
stecken; das funktioniert übrigens auch, wenn das Betriebssystem
nicht mehr bootet.
Mit dem DOS-Tool kann man den Rechner von Diskette booten;
eine Reparatur-Funktion gibt es für Partitionen mit FAT, FAT32 und NTFS.
Der eigentliche "Fitness Test" führt keine Schreib-Operationen aus.
Funktionen: Ein -und Ausschalten von S.M.A.R.T, MBR löschen,
Nutzdaten löschen, fehlerhafte Sektoren initialisieren und das
Auslesen von Microcode-Informationen über die Festplatte.

You can create the diskette under Windows or under Linux, using the binary version,
but you must start your system with the DOS bootable diskette to run DFT.

Hutil (The Drive Diagnostic Utility) is made with the aim of testing a
Samsung hard disk drive while it is installed inside a PC, regardless
of the status of user’s operating system. In fact of the drives returned
to Samsung, a large percentage are NTF(“No Trouble Found”) after testing.
So it is strongly recommended to test the drive if it is truly defective by a
few fundamental troubleshooting of Hutil first, to avoid user’s unnecessary
effort and inconvenience of replacing a good drive.
Hutil can test a drive solely manufactured by Samsung. It is strongly
recommended to back up the user’s significant data in advance because
Hutil has a Write operation that can erase it.
This program is just available below SAMSUNG HDDs...

Hutil is a DOS based utility so it is needed to prepare
a bootable 1.44-MB diskette in advance.
(Hutil_creator.exe is an auto extract execution file.)
