If you boot from your OS install disk you can use Disk Utility to check and repair your HD...
That Repairs File system.Not the Actually Disk. Im Talking about Hardware not software.
no i just want to know if it test anything with the Hard disk. God i didn't come here for a lecture just a simple yes or no question.
It should preform a surface scan to check for bad sectors...that would be about as much as it can do...I last did that with Tech Tool that came with my AppleCare...
It didn't detect any problems with my failing hard drive: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/904186/
