If you have the TechTool Pro 4.5.3 Install DVD, and you want to test a volume other than your boot volume without installing or rebooting from the DVD, you can use this Applescript to launch it while the DVD is mounted:

do shell script \
"open '/Volumes/TechTool Pro 4 DVD/Applications/.TechTool Pro 4.app'"
You'll need your registration code to run it, of course.

[robg adds: I haven't tested this one, but obviously, you could skip the AppleScript step and just use the open... bit directly from Terminal.]
