Hi, we have a Dell 64 bit workstation with two drives. When we boot,
the bios or os tells us a hard drive failed a test and won't boot in
windows but we can boot it in suse 10.1 linux.
We'd like to run diagnostics on the hard drives. Any clue about the
necessary command sequence would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance....

Use fsck from a terminal window-
fsck [ -F fstype] [-V] [-yY] [-o options] special
-F fstype type of file system to be repaired ( ufs , vxfs etc)
-V verify the command line syntax but do not run the command
-y or -Y Run the command in non interactive mode - repair all errors encountered without waiting for user response.
-o options Three options can be specified with -o flag
b=n where n is the number of next super block if primary super block is corrupted in a file system .
p option used to make safe repair options during the booting process.
f force the file system check regardless of its clean flag.
