Run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives.You need the Ultimate Boot CD if you want to: This is a Live Rescue CD based on Debian, which we hope will eventually be good enough to replace Parted Magic. If you like trying out new stuff, please check out an early beta version of UBCD Live and give us your feedback. If you intend to resell UBCD for commercial gains, please contact the respective authors for their permissions. Please note that some of the freeware on UBCD explicitly prohibits redistribution for commercial purposes eg. The least you could do is to make as many copies of the offical UBCD and pass it to your friends, relatives, colleagues or even complete strangers to minimize the per unit cost of your loss! If you had somehow paid a ridiculous amount of money for it, you have most likely been fleeced.
We recommend it for intermediate to advanced users.Ultimate Boot CD is completely free for the download, or could be obtained for a small fee. It installs desktop icons without asking, but it uninstalls cleanly.
The one place SeaTools displays useful scan data is the Drive Information feature, which offers a detailed report that can be saved to a file. That was enough for us-we left it untouched. The Advanced Tests feature stern warnings that you can lose data or render your drive unusable should you proceed.
We later learned from the Help file that the test can take up to four hours and works in 10-percent increments. We eventually had to abort the test, which caused the program to freeze and shut down. The Long Drive Self Test, however, never progressed past a certain point.
The Short Drive Self Test had the same outcome. The program quickly scanned our drive, and it passed the test, but that's all we know SeaTools doesn't display scan results. We went through each test that the program offered, starting with the S.M.A.R.T. It detected our only drive, along with its serial number, model number, firmware revision, and drive and test status. SeaTools' user interface is extremely stark: basic menu items line the top of a plain window, with detected drives are listed below. You'll have to take its word that it's working, though, because it doesn't offer any scan details. Hard disk maker Seagate's SeaTools for Windows scans your disk drives for driver corruption, broken master boot records, viruses and Trojans, spyware, and any hardware conflicts.
