Epson Y16499100301 User Manual

You do not see a cylinder count during the test. If no

errors occur, the program returns to the menu.

If an error is reported, consult your dealer.

This test checks the ability of the hard disk drive to detect

a read/write error and to correct the data accordingly.

This test destroys some data on the innermost cylinder of the

hard disk drive. This cylinder is reserved for diagnostics and is

never used for storage by MS-DOS. Therefore, data created by

MS-DOS is not destroyed.

Select option 3 from the menu to start this test. You see

these messages:

The data on the highest physical cylinder may be

destroyed by this check.

Enter Y to start this check.
Enter N to return to the menu.

Press Y and then 

Enter 

to continue with the test. If no errors

occur, the menu is displayed.

An error occurs only if the drive is malfunctioning. In this

case, back up all your files and have the drive serviced

immediately. (The drive may be corrupting your data.)

This test reads and verifies data from all tracks of the disk,

checking each cylinder and using both heads.

Select option 4 from the menu to start this test. The

program displays the number of each cylinder it finds. For
example, with a 20MB hard disk, the first message you see is:

Current cylinder is 614
