There are both Windows and DOS versions. You can also download a
bootable floppy or CD image. You can also download the "Ultimate
Boot CD". It is a CD with all kinds of tools, including disk test
tools. For a lot of the tools, it simulates booting from the test
floppy using a virtual drive A. It is worth having in your "toolkit".
