My be. The problem is the disks are in a Proliant Server with Windows 2003, a the Enterprise version seams to run in all versions of Windows except 2003. Furhtemore the disks are in a Raid Controller of the ML350. Won't this be a problem for the software?

I've never used the enterprise version of SeaTools. That's why I posed my answer as a question. :)

I would think that any virtual drive could be surface scanned by any third party HDD tool. For example, "HDDScan is a freeware utility for hard drive diagnostics (RAID arrays, Flash USB and SSD drives are also supported)".

http://hddscan.com

However, I think problems might arise when you try to diagnose each individual drive behind the RAID controller, as you have no doubt discovered.

FYI, here is a thread which suggests that SeaTools won't give you access to your drives:

One user suggests that "SCSI Mechanic 3.0 evaluation software" might be useful under certain conditions:

You can still download it here:
