Putting the answer at the top.
Someone packaged the edition of ms dos running under windows 98 and
added extra utilities to the package.
One reason why I said strict DOS is to avoid suggestions that are not
possibilities for me, like windows or Linux.

Hi folks,
I believe I will ask the same question on the dos ain't dead list.
Still, I am curious what strict dos third party diagnostic tools you like
using?
One heart break about norton utilities, I have the last DOS edition, is that
it cannot see more than two partitions.
the edition of dos I run dos 7.1 has slightly more updated editions of chkdsk
and scandisk, from 2003 or 2005 if memory serves.
anyway, ideas?

Which DOS is 7.1? MS, PC? I didn't think there was a DR-DOS 7.1, and FreeDOS
is only on the way to 1.3.
I vaguely remember a Datalight ROM-DOS, Phystechsoft PTS-DOS, and RxDOS from
long ago, now for the most part long forgotten, were not useful to me.
My inclination would be to use something from Linux, NetBSD or FreeBSD.
I can run FreeDOS only on a USB stick. Hard drives are partitioned GPT, and I
believe this is incompatible with any DOS.
Size/capacity of USB sticks makes it difficult to run any DOS or anything else
with FAT16; I use FAT32.
Not sure about scandisk; I believe chkdsk does not work on FAT32?
