Looking for a bootable CD/DVD for Win7 and hard drive testing utility!

375 views

I have a laptop which wont boot up due to a suspected hard drive gone bad. I would like to be able to boot up this laptop on a bootable CD/DVD and hopefully run some utility to detect or determine if the hard drive on the laptop has gone faulty, can anyone give me recommendations for such a CD/DVD and utility.

I have only used the utility provided by a drive manufacturer.

Googling "bootable hard drive test utility" produces lots of good information.
