My two favorite tools for HD work are the
"On-Track Disk Manager
program V 5", and "Hard Drive Test Specs" program. DM lets you test,
LL format, create, and prep partitions.
I will give a hearty second to the recommendation for Disk Manager. Can't
be beat. If you've ever swapped a hard drive, or you ever plan to, get
this program! If you even know what a hard drive is, you should probably
have it.
Also good is LapLink Pro, which allows you to transfer itself to another
computer without having to use diskettes -- handy for those older (PC)
machines (like >10 years) whose floppy drives have gone south, but you want
access to the hard drive.
