Hello,
I've a EZB CD working quite fine with Acronis True Image and Disk Director Suite.
I'd like to add a brilliant tool for HDD checking which is Hitachi Drive Fitness Test.
I tried many options, but I fail each time I try to run from EZB.
More over, it is possible to have this tool for a floppy, or even for a CD (.iso file). See download page of Hitachi's site.
Does someone know who to do to make it run from my EZB menu ?
Thanks to all,
--------------
Lim.

All you have to do is to download the Floppy image from the Hitachi Website:
Download binary diskette image (non-Windows systems)
Put this file in your disk1\ezboot folder and use the run command to launch...

Hello Hulk 
I've downloaded the binary diskette image (non-Windows systems) called dft32_v402_b00_install.img.
I put it in disk1\ezboot folder and used the command run dft32_v402_b00_install.img.
But when I launch it after booting with EasyBoot, Â I have a "Non system disk or disk error" message.
Should't I change something with .img file before ?
What should I use to open it ?

It's the same... 
Does it have something to do with the .img extension ?

Hello Limerick
Download disk creator: ”Download Windows diskette creator” from Hitachi website.
Create floppy using downloaded exe.
When done, start EasyBoot and use: > Tools > ”Make floppy image” to create bootable image file.
Note: in “Output file name” change name from “boot.img” to “hitachi.img” (no quotes).
When done, check that you have a new image file “hitachi.img” in EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot
Use: run hitachi.img as command in EasyBoot
Note: when using “disk fitness test” this way (from image and not from floppy), you have to select abort one time during this test. No problem. It’s normal procedure.

Hello eureka,
I did what you said once again (I already done that yesterday), but I fail again.
Always this "Non system disk or disk error" message.
It was like the computer was enable to read this .img file.

Hello Limerick
Seems that your version of EasyBoot doesn’t respond according to img files.
Please tell me following.
In what way do you start other types of img files? (If using other img files)

I don't use any software to start .img files.
I was just wondering if "Daemon tool's" was able to do so... and it's not.

Hello Limerick
Well that explains your problems with: fitness test img file.
Your problems would be easily fixed if using EasyBoot (witch is an excellent bootmanager).
