HDD "Stress test"

[Darrien]

I'm looking for a program that can "Stress test" a hard drive.

Something that runs from a bootable floppy disk would be best, but anything
that works is fine.

HeavyLoad V2.0
Heavyload is inteded to stress all resources of a PC (like CPU, RAM,
harddisk, network, operating system, etc.) in order to test, if it will run
reliable under heavy load. This is useful for testing important NT file or
database servers before using them productively, or just to check if your
new PC might get too hot when used intensively. To stress your PC or server,
HeavyLoad writes a large test-file to the temp folder, it allocates physical
and virtual memory and it draws patterns in its window.
