Question

Which offline diagnostics utility could you use to test the hard drive on a desktop or workstation that doesn't include uefi diagnostics?

Answer 1

To test a hard drive using offline diagnostics, one could use a disk defragmenter. The disk defragmenter can compress files to make the hard drive data more manageable. In addition, issues with the hard disk can be analyzed and therefore proper precautions and steps can be taken to fix the issue.
