If FindDevice does not see the drive, HDToolbox will not see it, either. You should first fix this before you search for an alternative to HDToolbox.
Did you enable the "Show all drives" checkbox in FindDevice ? Otherwise it will only show CD and DVD drives.
You can use this as a replacement for HDToolbox:
