Hey everyone, I was just wondering it there is a SATA hard drive diagnostic on the most recent UBCD. Last time I got the new version and tried, none of the HD diagnostic tests would even detect the SATA drive.

Hello ^^
Is it at least detected by the machine's BIOS itself ?

Yep. The is nothing wrong with the normal workings of the computer at all.

And by none I meant Salvation, the WD test (correct manufacturer for the drive), and the IBM/Hitachi test, which has worked perfectly well with other company's drives in the past.

I have an Asus S37S notebook, Santa Rosa, with Seagate 200GB SATA2 drive. In UBCD ver. 4.1.1 running Seatools for DOS reports same as you got: no HDD found. I notice this is ver. 1.09 (???or thereabouts) of Seatools. This may be pertinent: Using my Seatools for DOS CD ISO downloaded from Seagate, ver. 1.09 could not find the HDD either; their newer ver. 2.07 finds the HDD just fine. I suspect the Seatools in UBCD just needs updating. The same may be true of the WD tool. You might try WD for a newer version and go from there.

Has this been addressed? I am running v4.11 and I have the same problem. BIOS sees the drive just fine, but none of the diagnostic tools or virus scanners see it.

Try UBCD50 beta. It contains a lot of updates.
