[pchelpers] Re: Hard Drive Test

It's an Hitachi hd.
I will have to make a bootable CD since in their wisdom they chose not to
include a floppy drive on my HP Pavilion ZX5040US laptop. Can't get one
either as well as a DVD writer for the thing.
Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.

: Do you know what brand the drive is? Many laptop drives are Toshiba or
: Hitachi - Hitachi/IBM has a drive test (non-destructive unless you let it
: repair something) for free - on floppy or bootable CD. Use google to
search
: for IBM Hitachi drive test if yours is one. If you can't find out from the
: boot screens then open the bay for the drive. If the drive is hidden
inside
: and you have no idea how to get at it let me know the model (pavilion or
: omnibook and the number) as well as the product ID (usually one letter, 4
: numbers then a letter or two - if it ends in AR then it's a factory
refurb,
: A alone means first time sale from new stock). I have access to the
service
: manuals for most.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
