Is there a DOS utility that will read S.M.A.R.T. parameters? The only one listed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_S.M.A.R.T._tools is Spinrite, but the version 6 I have either isn't doing it, or the drive doesn't support it.

Hiren's Boot CD had one or two utilities that did the trick. I remember that one screen in MHDD listed SMART parameters, and other utility showed the parameters as graphic bars.

MHDD does the job, thank you all! Trying this out reminded me of another that I had forgotten about, HDAT2.

SMARTUDM - small (37 kB) HDD S.M.A.R.T. Viewer for DOS.
SMARTUDM supports drives using external UDMA/SATA/RAID controllers (HPT/Promise/FastTrack).

Going to also try this out.

Anyone have a Wikipedia account they use to update entries? Looks like we have a few more that could be added to the one I state in the original message.
