My tendency would be to boot the boxes from Flash or DVD and test with
badblocks or fsck nondestructively obtaining a list of problems to then
help decide how to proceed with each box. You could make a Flash drive
with the basic tools and scripts and then clone it to work with several
drives at o
update::
The boxes can be remotely/ssh accessed, so it would be easier if
there's a solution that could allow us to simply run software tests
over the net, to the boxes/drives that are installed/formatted if
possible!!
thanks again!!

Got a situation where we have a number of used/older dell boxes
running centos/fedora (should be the same process of testing the
drives).
Some of the boxes have already had the OS installed/drive
formatted/patitioned/etc.. Some have dual drives.
We realized that we should have tested
