Can anyone tell me if there's a hard disk diagnostic utility I can run from an Ubuntu live CD? I've got an intermittent boot problem where my computer hangs on the BIOS screen.
The recent versions of Ubuntu have built-in hard drive monitoring. If there's something wrong with your hard drive, then it will most likely know. The last couple of versions have had it turned on by default, so all you should need to do is run the live CD. You can find the detailed information of your drive by going to System -> Administration -> Disk Utility.
