how do I test laptop internal hard drive from Knoppix DVD?

[Darlene Wallach]

I cannot boot my laptop into grapical mode and text mode with my
internal hard drive.

I am using a Knoppix DVD to write this email.

Is there a way for me to use the Knoppix DVD to test the internal hard
drive of my laptop?

Thank you

Wouldn't it be better to ask this on a Knoppix forum or list?

On my laptop I cannot boot into graphical mode nor text mode. I'm
using a Knoppix 6.5 I got in a Linux Magazine. I thought there might
be a tool I could use from the Knoppix live DVD to test the internal
drive on my laptop. I currently have Fedora 13 installed on my laptop.
I don't know how to check/test the internal drive on my laptop using
the Knoppix 6.5 live DVD. If someone can give me some advice, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Thank you
