Always check your hard drive with scsi card constructor's bios.
On adaptec, Ctrl-A when prompted, and Check scsi disk.

I don't understand what you mean by "Always check your hard drive with scsi card constructor's bios."
The card I have is DPT PM2144W.

This is an old Adaptec SCSI card.
During boot up, you can presse ctrl-a to enter bios, and then, scan drive, check drive or low level format drive.

Yes, it is an old Adaptec SCSI card.
It has the option of Ctrl-D, all it has is options to set up the card, nothing on what you have mentioned.

I'm sorry, but there's no way to find manual for your card in adaptec site.
If you have time, write all the options that are shown in your card bios, I'll try to find.

Bad luck, you're into the scsi config, recent cards have another option (scsi utility) with detect, low level format, check drives...
Can't find any 3rd party software to test your disk.
Sorry
