HD diagnostic/checking utilities?

Got my new HD installed but fsck.reiserfs found some problems which it fixed. System runs stable but I'd really like to make a total check to see if the drive really is ok. Any diagnostic/checking utilities for this?
My /boot is ext2, / and /home are reiserfs.

  • How to run diagnostic check

    My ipad dosen't recognise the sim.   I was told to do a diagnostic check.   How?

    The black screen with details of startup runs every time your Mac starts up. All you have done is made it visible. That information is written at EVERY startup into the log file, and can be examined there with Console.app.
    There is NOTHING wrong with your Mac.
    I find it soothing to see that information go by, but it is not the default. If you prefer not to see it, but just see the flower petal/gear instead, just reset the PRAM back to the factory defaults. [Command Option P R at startup, hold for three or four chimes.]
    This will NOT change what happens at Startup -- the same sequence is executed regardless -- it only changes whether it will be shown on screen.

  • System Health Checks Utilities

    Hi Linux Gurus,
    I need to understand some of the outputs of basic system health checks utilities - vmstat, netstat, iostat. As DBA point of view when I run any of the above utilities - what things I should look for. How can I know, the network traffic is high or network is not performing properly by using netstat. How can I know that the system I/O is high. Also I saw that there are many flags for these utilities which are very helpful to format or limit the output to a certain extent.
    I will really appreciate the help on this topic.
    Best Regards

    Hi Samar
    A graphical tool like sourceforge.net/projects/xosview/ can make a part of the job, otherwise does oracle the OS Watcher (OSW) is a set of scripts that continually run in the background, collecting information about: Processes I/O Memory Network
    OS Watcher user’s guide in MetaLink note 301137.1
    Hope this helps.

  • After a diagnostic check for both connectivity and sync, we may have a conflict.

    fellow iPod classic owners,
                                          after a diagnostic check in which my iPod was found to be connected, on the sync test it was found to not be there. it appears that something is very amiss here. now granted i am not a whiz kid, but when one test tells you that you are connected and the next tells you that you're not, who do you believe? i smell a conflict of some kind or some such thing. clearly we have issues here. i don't know where else to turn. anyone have any ideas? both tests are part of the help tab on the iTunes page. it seemed reasonable to start here, but there is a conflict in the test results.
                                                                                                                                                                      awaiting your comments,
                                                                                                                                                                          hardphil.

    mancave4me,
                        the answer to the question is yes/and yes again. with one comes the other. i still have the problem even after uninstalling and reinstalling the apple apps. it's a thing which plagues pc users. it isn't an issue for my hp laptop however and that intrigues me. i'm no whiz kid with this stuff, but when you pass the connectivity test and it says your iPod is there. then, you fail the sync test because it tells you it is not there. somethings amiss at the circle k. i smell conflict. this is easily solved. just use my laptop for iTunes unless you have a working solution.
    that's the way i see this. it's not the end of the world by a far stretch. let me know if you have a solution. thanks for your concern.                                                                                               sincerely, hardphil.

  • Is there a ipad mini online hardware diagnostic check?

    Is there a ipad mini online hardware diagnostic check? Or is there a really good app that will tell me if everything is working properly?

    Of course not, why make something a buyer could fix himself when Apple can diagnose it and make repair charges so ridiculously expensive that they will offer you a 6% trade in discount on a brand new model? lol And make it sound like your stealin it from them at that price. Did I mention this happened to me? lol. The headphone jack works just fine. When the speakers show up I'll slap those in and have an awesome $162 ipad mini!

  • My toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it. I have the preferences checked to show icon and have checked utilities folder. nothing. Help!

    I have a iMac, Yosemite 10.10 and my toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it!. I have the preferences checked to show icons and have looked in the utilities folder..nothing. I have also changed ports. ??

    A few things to try:
    1-Repair permissions and restart your computer.
    2-Zap the PRAM
    3-Use Software Update/App Store to update your OS to OS 10.10.3.  Also, update everything SU/AS has to offer for your computer.  When done, repair permissions and restart your computer. 

  • Password checking utilities

    Guys,
    I read in some of the Java books about a password utilities which checks if passwords are legal(according to the company's policy).
    They used something like this:
    public static boolean isPasswordValid (String pw)
    String digits = "0123456789"
    String letters ="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    //something with indexOf()
    }and then checked if one of the chars exists in the String pw.
    could anyone advise how to check it with indexOf????
    I implemented it differently with this:
         public static boolean isPasswordValid(String pw)
              if (pw!=null && pw.length()>5)
                   char[] c = pw.toCharArray();
                   boolean digitExist  = false;
                   boolean letterExist = false;
                   for (int x=0; x<pw.length(); x++)
                        if (Character.isDigit(c[x]))
                             digitExist = true;
                        if (Character.isLetter(c[x]))
                             letterExist = true;
                        if (digitExist && letterExist)
                             return true;                    
              return false;
         }

    I suggest:
    Implementing what you want to do, by using the 'indexOf()' method, is also difficult.
    But anyway...
    char[] c = digits.toCharArray();
    boolean digitExist  = false;
    for (int i = 0; i < c.length; i++)
       if (pw.indexOf(c) != -1)
    digitExist = true;
    break;
    //Same for the letters

  • My MAC won't connect to the internet anymore. I have ran the Diagnostic check and other computers are able to connect but my MAC no longer will. Please help.

    Please tell me what I need to do to fix this problem. It was working fine yesterday and now today that is not the case. Thank you.

    I had the same issue! My 24"  2008 iMac was working perfectly. Yesterday I used my BootCamp partition and when I went back to my Mac OS I couldn't connect to the internet!
    The computer looks like it's connected but it won't navigate at all! I tried to verify the network settings and when I tried to do that my System Preferences app hang-up. I had to Force quit it and reboot the computer couple of times to double check.
    Then I run de Disk utility to verify the disk & permissions and the scan result was that the disk was not repairable, I had to make a timeMachine backup of my personal data and completely format my HD including the BOOTCAMP partition to reinstall MAC OS 10.6 and all the updates and everything and now Everything is working perfectly.
    I first tried to only format my MAC OS partition and reinstall but there was another error that the insallation couldn't be completed. Then I completely erases all partitions and erased all the files and I was able to reinstall everything in a couple of hours.

  • How do I run a system diagnostic check on my macbook?

    I have a 2006 macbook pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5. I don't have AHT on my macbook and I don't have the backup disks. Any ideas?

    you need grey disk 2 that origionally came with the mac to run AHT.  No other alternative unless you bring it to an Apple store or AASP and have them run one.  What seems to be the problem with your mac that makes you want to run AHT?

  • HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 Hard Drive Diagnostic failure - but runs fine?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit) that seems to run just fine.  On a whim, I ran the pre-boot diagnostic check and received the following error code that the hard drive test had failed.
    Q7NK1R-52M62E-XD002J-60WW03
    Nothing in my PC's performance prompted me to run the diagnostic test, I simply ran it as a double check for the heck of it.
    Is this something to be worried about?  Of course an error code is always something to look into but since the PC seems to be running just fine is this a true error or simply a nuisance that should be ignored?
    I can not remember making any signficant changes lately to the installed software and have made no changes to the hardware at all.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Ali,
    You are running into a bug in the install form. It sees the tables that you imported manually (like the message told you to do), and then complains about them. The best thing to do is change the code in the hsdinst.fmb where the check for existing objects is performed in program units CHECK_USERS:
    function hsu_objects_exist
    return boolean
    is
    cursor c_chk
    is
    select 'x'
    from user_objects
    where object_name like 'BL_%'
    -- or object_name like 'HSU_%'
    -- or object_name like 'OMR_%'
    So comment out the two lines as indicated above and recreate the fmx.
    Kind regards,
    Peter

  • Dignastic check and then it comes up.  Why is it doing this

    When I bring up Safari, It wants to not come up until I do a dinastic check and the only thing that is not green is the internet and the server.  In doing the check it will check out ok.  Safari come up after i do the check.  What is causing this?

    How do you get your internet service? DSL? Cable? DialUp?
    How is your iMac connected to the internet?
         - Do you connect your iMac directly to the internet service provider's modem?
              - Are you connected to wirelessly or via an ethernet cable?
    Rather than going through the diagnostic check, what happens if you instead wait 30-60 seconds. Does the issue resolve itself?
    The following articles may also provide some help. If you are using PPPoE then the following information from the article referenced below may help. It's referring to an option in the advanced section of the Network System Preferences pane. I've included a screenshot from my system below. I am also running 10.7.3, just like you.
    "Tip: To have the computer automatically connect whenever you open a network application (Web browser, email, and so forth), click PPPoE Options and select the "Connect automatically when needed" checkbox."

    Hopefully a simple preference change like this will help.
