Most hard drive manufacturers have diagnostic software available
for download.

Thank you, but is there a solution for computers that will not boot to the
GUI?

There are Windows applications, but the basic versions create a
bootable floppy, complete with its own operating system and
diagnostic software.

What I mean is, nothing seems to work, I have to operate on BIOS, since the
HD can't be read. Is there anything I can do other than replacing the Hard
drive and reinstalling?


If the computer will boot from the floppy drive, all you have to do is create the
floppy disk and use it to start the computer.
