The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Portable hard disk scanner to test for read errors.

Download: http://www.filetransit.com/go.php?id=35831-4-1

Installation: Single .exe file download. Download to any directory and run

Portability: Regshot showed no registry keys. Dependency Walker showed only windows native dlls. Could not find any files created, though I have not yet done a full disk scan.

The home site for this utility is:

and their download link:
http://files.ariolic.com/diskscanner.exe

Looks like most of the other stuff Ariolic has to offer is payware but it's pretty cool of them to have this freeware utility as well. Seems more or less to be like the ''Error Scan'' function of HD Tune.
