The cylinder number counts down to 0.

At the end of the test, you see a table of the results of the

test. For example, for a 20MB hard disk with three bad tracks,
you see the following:

BAD TRACKS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . 0

READ ERROR TRACKS.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

GOOD TRACKS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Press Enter to return to the menu

Press 

Enter 

when you have viewed the table. Don’t worry if

there are some bad tracks on the disk. They have been
registered by the manufacturer and will not be used to store
data.

To run all the tests on the menu in sequence, press 

5 and

then 

Enter.

When you choose this option, all checks for the hard disk

drive and controller are performed automatically in sequential

order. Although you do not start each test, you must still
supply the appropriate responses to progress from one test to
the next. This is the first prompt you see:

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.

When you finish running the system diagnostics, press 0 to

exit the program. When the MS-DOS command prompt
reappears, remove the reference diskette.
