Hard disk exerciser

[Scott]

I have a laptop that recently likes to shut itself off - for no appearant 
reason.  I suspect the hard drive may be the culprit because the sudden 
power offs only seem to happen during disk access.  I was wondering if 
anyone knew of a program that will let me "exercise" the disk.  Note: 
there is no option in the BIOS to do this.  Any info would be appreciated.
