Epson 10020 User Manual

If the program finds one bad track that is not flagged, the

summary would show one track with a write, read error. The

report is then followed by a table like this:

To flag the error tracks as bad, press Y and Enter. You then see

a list of the tracks as they are flagged and then these messages:

Flagging bad tracks...
Cylinder is 237, head is 2
Press ENTER to return to the menu.

Press Enter to return to the HARD DISK FORMAT MENU.

The Non-destructive surface analysis does not destroy any data,

and can safely be used to check the condition of your hard disk
drive. However, this test does not flag any bad tracks it detects.

To start the test, press 4 and then Enter. You see these

messages:

Analyze Hard Disk

Read/Verify check for all tracks...
Current cylinder is xxxx

As each track is checked, the current cylinder is displayed. The
cylinder number counts down to zero as the disk is checked.
