Check the downloads section at the disk manufacturer's website. All the
disk vendors have utilities that can test their disks.
Generally these utilities can use proprietary commands to exercise
self-test functions that generally aren't accessible to non-proprietary
test code.
Most of the utilities are DOS boot disk images. You make either a
floppy or a CD from them, then boot off of it.
