Here's the thing. A friend gave me a hard drive, it's sort of old, but we think it works. I want to make a clean install of my windows, and I wanted to try it on this new, bigger disk. However I don't know if it's bust or if it will gimme the blue screen of death, if it has bad sectors and etc... Is there a program I could use to test this stuff out, bad sectors, reliability, read speed, etc, and make sure I'm not gonna regret installing my OS on it?
Thanks
Aphis
