Disk Diag

  



With Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostics, you've got a few options to scan for errors.

This is a cli disk diagnostic that runs under Windows, Linux and DOS/BIOS. It is a traditional disk diagnostic in the style of diagnostics going back into the 1960's and the first disk drives.
