windows 7 - How can I read SMART data from my HDDs in Win7 recovery command prompt?

Win7 won't finish loading on my laptop, and I'm trying to find a way to get any tool, like smartctl, onto a USB stick so that I can check the hard drives.


I've used wmic which says the drives are OK, but I wanted to see if I could dig any deeper.


The problem with smartctl is that I can only download the Windows setup exe, which is no help since I've only got my laptop and a linux machine to work with. Obviously I should have installed smartctl before I had this issue :(


hdtune would have been good as well, but I can't run it from the command prompt, even if i could get it installed.


This question is a result of my earlier question Intel RAID0 physical device error occurred(0), Win7 won't run but disks seem OK - is it salvageable?


I've seen this question below but can't use any of the solutions (except wmci)


How can I read my hard drive's SMART status in Windows 7?
