I wrote DTEST a few years ago to do just what the name implies.
It tests drive C:, or to be exact, the first physical drive. It gets
the drive parameters from ROM BIOS and does a read test across the
whole drive, a sector at a time.
When started with the -w option, a read/write test is performed.
This test is non-destructive except in case of power failure.
The -c option tests continuously (otherwise th etest stops at the
last sector of the drive).

The other day I needed to copy the contents of one HD to 7 others.
Thus, I massaged DTEST to create DCLONE.
DCLONE takes no parameters. If the first and second physical drive
in a computer are absolutely identical, then the whole contents of
the first drive are copied to the second. A R/W test ist performed
on the second drive. The second drive must be low level formatted.

Both programs were compiled with BORLAND C.
