Toshiba Hard Drive Diagnostic Utility
Posted on 2005-08-21
I am trying to run a fitness test/analysis on a Toshiba MK6021GAS. I know there are problems with the drive. I thought Hitachi was the hard drive manufacturer, so I downloaded their fitness test program. The drive has errors, but Hitachi's program won't touch it because it is a Toshiba drive. I have IBM/Hitachi, Maxtor, WD, and Seagate programs, but nothing for a Toshiba drive. Does anyone have a program or link to a program from Toshiba? Their site is awful and I've come up with nothing. Thanks a lot for any help.
