Same as bgavin topic with same title:
The program source is the .ISO downloaded from WD.
The error message is:
“Western Digital drives were found. However, none of them are supported in this version of the program.”
The drive are on a linux server. I want to make a RW check before copy 1,5TB of data from a buggy WD drive with less than 6 months.
A windows utility isn’t a option.

Reply to myself, I hope it helps someone:
CD version are much older than the other DOS version available. WD does not seem to have enough people to pack DOS versión on a bootable CDROM.
So…
-
Download Data LifeGuard Diagnostics for DOS (DLGDiagv519.zip) and unzip it to a USB drive with FAT
-
Connect the USB drive to the machine with WD20EARS
-
Boot FreeDOS from a CDROM, (or from a utilities disk like SystemRescueCD)
-
Run C:\DLGDiagv519.exe
thanks for trying to help someone
