Does anyone know of a hard disk diagnostic routine that gives detailed
information about disk errors.  Norton's dt routine works fine, but it
only reports the cluster in error.  I would like more information, like
cylindar/track/head, type of error (seek error, header error, etc.)

In the near term, I could use the formula for the cylindar/track/sector
conversion for the Seagate 225.

Thanks in advance,
