Hi, I downloaded a drive diognostic utility from here http://www.samsung.com/global/business/h...port_HUTIL.html the cd-rom version, I've tried to burn it with nero 6 burning rom, when I try to burn it I get this message, unexspected file format, may be I'm doing something wrong I don't know can you help
Thanks for your help , I followed your instructions I was able to burn it ok, but when I put the cd into the cd-rom drive all I got was the the winrar file Hutil, when I double clicked on the file I get three files
Hutil exe application
Hutil210.CFG file CFG
run.bat MS-DOS batch file
can you please me tell how I can get this drive diognostic utility to work, I thought once I got the image file burned on to a cd and put it into the cd-rom drive it would run the utility
keep in mind that this program might not have an auto run feature, the program i listed above is the one you want to run
follow below to reburn it properly..

download this one
Hutil 210 ISO (For CD ROM Drive).zip
then unzip it
now you'll see this file
you must rename that file Hutil210.iso
if done correctly your file with winrar will look like this
I followed your instructions and it burned ok, but if I put cd in the cd-rom drive nothing shows, don't I have to use this cd to bootup? on samsung site you can get this file in a floppy version and you boot from it, so I think may be the cd-rom version is the same, look here and scroll down the page http://www.samsung.com/global/business/h...port_HUTIL.html
leave the disc in the drive, turn off your computer, turn on your computer and enter your bios and set it to boot off your disc drive, then exit your bios and it'll boot of the cd and enter the utility:)
at first screen you will be prompted with many option f8/f2/12 usually enters the bios but with different bios versions it differs
