Hi guys,
I have what seems to be a bad drive.
It is a Samsung SP0802N.
I would like to know which software I can use to diagnose the drive, most likely from DOS, using a boot-CD as the drive is currently clicking.
Thanks a lot

If it's clicking then 99% it's a physical issue, no software will fix that

Yes, I understood that by reading other threads and the FAQ.
I only want to diagnose it and pull out a log.
Thanks guys.

It won't come ready - PROBABLY after some time it will but then Mhdd is useless.
Usually on that model the problem is physical.
