Seagate HDD DOS checker

3 New Member
Hi I am tring to test my daughters HDD with SeaTools for DOS, I am getting this message "Remove disks or any other Media Press any key to Restart"

Floppy is set to boot first, thats when the message appears "Remove disks or any other Media Press any key to Restart", just can't boot from floppy or cd drive.

Windows XP Home

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Sorry that I can't give advice as I have managed to avoid using DOS for the past 10 years. I have, however moved your post from the Articles section of the Windows Group, so you'll now have a better (the only) shot at getting a reply from someone who know about such things.

It is not difficult to check the HDD from XP if it will boot at this time.

Most likely the disk is not bootable. You will probably need to use the DOS tools from the windows command prompt.
