ViVARD - powerful and simple program for HDD diagnostics

September 11th, 2006, 3:37

I invite all people to use and to discuss new program.

ViVARD is powerful and simple program for low-level HDD diagnostics.
Supported interfaces: S-ATA (SATA), IDE (E-IDE), SCSI. Big drives ( LBA-48 ) are supported.

ViVARD operations:
- Surface test. Program allows testing disk drive surface.
- Surface test with remap. Scanning drive with replacement of defects from reserve area.
- Erasing sectors or whole drive. Fast easing sectors or whole drive in mode UDMA (will clear all partitions, MBR, and all user data). The program deletes data from a hard disk drive completely, allowing its user to be sure that if the drive is sold or passed on the next owner will not be able to recover any data previously stored there.
- The program allows viewing of SMART-attributes.
- Record of the report on a current hard drive condition.

VIVARD is very simple and easy and will not demand from user special knowledge of the interface or any standards.

Hello bubu321
In what OS you run program? You must run program in DOS. Use Setup.exe to create emergency boot-disk for ViVARD.
If it's ok, that error mean that you use very old computer without PCI support.

best regards
