Unfortunately Western Digital don't support Vista with their
diagnostic tools

I tried the DOS-based ISO image but that seems to think it's running
from a floppy and keeps referring to not being able to find files on
A:.
I seem to be at a dead end

There must be a way to use the WD diagnostics without a floppy drive, as I
had to use it when one of my Raptors was showing a SMART error. I must have
used the CD image, as I do not have a floppy drive on my main desktop PC,
and it was before I bought a USB floppy drive. I /may/ have used the UBCD,
but I doubt it. It may be worth you trying it though.
