I'd love a utility similar to MHDD or HDDSCAN that I could run on a Mac without having to remove the drive. Anyone know of anything?

The Intel-based Macs don't have a conventional BIOS, so once I load MHDD up I cannot type anything on the keyboard. So if anyone knows of a utility that I can run on a Mac before MHDD so I can enable a keyboard, that would be great.

Any tips would be great.

I'm not sure how functional it would be, but what about trying "Target Disk Mode" on the Mac, and scanning the hard drive from another computer over FireWire / Thunderbolt.
