SEAGATE的低階格式化Disk Manager V9.56a(其實以包含在DiscWizard中)
下載Disk ManagerV9.56a http://www.seagate.com/support/disc...ad/dmgr956a.exe
此程式會製作一開機片將PC重新開機後會進入Seagate Disk Manager
進入後選擇advanced options→maintenance→options→utilities→earse（選擇所要低階格式化的硬碟）→ZeroFill OR Low Level Format
Note: The Zero Fill option runs more quickly and removes data just as thoroughly as the Low Level option
QDPSSCSI.EXE program copied to a DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millennium (Me) boot diskette.
PC compatible system (486 or newer).
A supported Quantum? SCSI S.M.A.R.T. capable hard drive.
Supported SCSI Drives:
Atlas 10K
Atlas 10K II
Atlas 10K III
Atlas III
Atlas IV
Atlas V
Viking II
Step-by-Step Procedures
If you have a Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) or Windows Millennium startup disk and an Adaptec host follow these instructions -
Download QDPS to your hard drive, then copy to a blank formatted floppy.
Boot your system to the startup disk, and at the selector prompt, start the system with CD ROM support. This will automatically load the ASPI manager drivers for Adaptec branded hosts.
When the boot disk reaches the A:\ prompt, remove the disk, and install the disk with the QDPS utility, type QDPSSCSI at the A:\ prompt and hit enter.
QDPS is designed to run on Quantum? S.M.A.R.T. capable hard drives (the utility will identify a drive as S.M.A.R.T. capable). As with any system test or diagnostic, Maxtor recommends that you have a complete backup of your drive before beginning.
If you do not have an Adaptec host or Windows 98 Second Edition (or Windows Me) startup disk follow the instructions below -
Prepare a DOS 6.22 or Windows 95/98 bootable diskette and copy the HIMEM.SYS file to the diskette (HIMEM.SYS is required if you are testing a SCSI drive). The HIMEM.SYS file will be found in the default directory where your operating system was installed on your hard drive (typically either the DOS or WINDOWS directory).
Copy the QDPSSCSI.EXE utility to the diskette and be sure to copy the host adapter's DOS ASPI driver to the diskette as well.
Reboot your system using the diskette. Be sure to load the host adapter's DOS ASPI driver and HIMEM.SYS driver via the CONFIG.SYS file. For example, if you are using an Adaptec 2940UW card you would use the ASPI8DOS.SYS driver with the following entries in the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=A:\ASPI8DOS.SYS
At the A: prompt, type QDPSSCSI and then [ENTER].
You will be presented with a licensing agreement. After acceptance of the licensing agreement, the utility will begin running. If you DO NOT accept the licensing agreement, you will be returned to the A: prompt.
If your system has only one drive, the utility will begin immediately. If your system has more than one drive installed, you will be presented with a menu of available drives. To select a drive to test, enter its number and the test will begin.

Drive Fitness Test (v3.30)
This download creates a self-booting DOS diskette to run the DFT utility. The Drive Fitness Test (DFT) provides a quick, reliable method to test SCSI and IDE hard disk drives. The Drive Fitness Test analyze function performs read tests without overwriting customer data. (However, Drive Fitness Test is bundled with some restoration utilities that will overwrite data). Version 3.30 includes the support for the latest drives. The users guide PDF covers how to use Drive Fitness Test and the included utilities.
Features:
Supports SCSI and IDE drives
Note: Currently, the Drive Fitness Test does not support Microdrives, or Travelstar E drives.
Analyzes drive fitness
Three modes of operation:
-- High confidence level Quick test (unmatched in the drive industry)
-- Full media scan
-- Exerciser
Performs real-time analysis of you drive to quickly determine whether the drive has a problem.
Identifies system problems such as cables, temperature, etc.
Automatically logs significant drive parameters to track potential impacts to the operation of the drive.
Restores drive fitness
Note: these utilities will overwrite customer data and allow repair of bad sectors.
Erase Bootsector utility (use DFT Utility option: Erase Boot Sector)
Low-level format utility (use DFT Utility option: Erase Disk)
Filesystem-based Corrupted Sector Repair (use DFT Utility option: Corrupted Sector Repair)
Update!!!
Data Lifeguard Diagnostics - DLGDIAG for Windows（可在Windows視窗中診斷WD HDD）
This is a Windows version of the Data Lifeguard Diagnostics utility. The utility can perform drive identification, diagnostics, and repairs on a Western Digital FireWire, EIDE, or USB drive. In addition, it can provide you with the drive's serial and model numbers
The POWERMAX.EXE utility is designed to perform diagnostic read/write verifications on Maxtor/Quantum hard drives. These tests will determine hard drive integrity. The POWERMAX.EXE utility is effective on all ATA (IDE) hard drives with a capacity greater than or equal to 500 MB. Maxtor recommends the use of this utility for troubleshooting potential hard drive problems. These problems include, but are not limited to the following:
*Potential hard drive surface problems (e.g., bad clusters, bad sectors, partitioning/formatting problems, etc.).
*Drive recognition problems (e.g. hard drive that is not recognized by the operating system).
Software removal.
***Note:PowerMax v4.06 will not detect Ultra ATA hard disks connected to motherboards with embedded NVIDIA chipsets (SATA drives are supported). A new version to address this issue is currently in development and is slated for release soon. Please check the PowerMax download page periodically for updates. All versions of PowerMax prior to 4.06 are no longer supported, it is recommended that you update to version 4.06 before testing your hard disk.
It is recommended to run Powermax on all Maxtor hard drives prior to warranty replacement
**Certified to work on all current WD drives (model numbers starting with "WD")
**Friendly user interface and easy to use
**GUI Interface Drive Installation Software
**Printable tutorial customized to help you optimize your configuration
**Improved drive to drive copy capability
**(Windows version) Will work with Windows 2000 SP3 and Windows XP SP1 to overcome the 137GB barrier without the need for a controller card
File Version: 4.09
Revision Date: 03/11/04
Compatible Operating Systems: WindowsNT, WindowsXP, Windows2000, WindowsME, Windows98, Windows95B, OS/2

Note: PowerMax v 4.09 will not detect ATA or SATA hard disks connected to embedded or add in RAID controllers, NVIDIA Force 3, or Force 4 chipsets. If the hard disk is connected to an unsupported controller, it will have to be moved to an alternate system, or controller for diagnosis. Please check the PowerMax download page periodically for updates. Beginning June 1st 2004 all versions of PowerMax prior to v4.09 will no longer be supported. Maxtor recommends that you update to version 4.09 before testing your hard disk
