Russell,
Your right, that WD diagnostic setup is only for WD drives. altho the bios
part is useful and will give info about your HD regardless of manufacture.
A better choice is WD's EZ-DRIVE. It has solved many HD problems for me.
I have found many HD problems center on errors in jumper settings,fdisk
(partitions) and formatting. Many times I forget to reboot after fdisk is
completed.
