Epson equity ie q50188015-1 Manuel D’Utilisation

The cylinder number counts down to 0. At the end of the test, you see a

table showing the results of the test. For example, for a 20MB hard disk with
three bad tracks, you see:

BAD TRACKS

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

READ ERROR TRACKS

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

GOOD TRACKS

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Press 

Enter 

to return to the menu after viewing the table. Don’t worry if

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

To run all the tests on the menu in sequence, press 4 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.

When you see a prompt warning you that the data on the highest physical
cylinder may be destroyed, press Y and then 

Enter 

to continue with the

test. (The cylinder is reserved for diagnostics, and is never ‘used for storage by

MS-DOS. Therefore, data created by MS-DOS is not destroyed.)

Use this option to test the functions of an additional parallel port. To
perform the test you must insert a special loop-back connector into the

alternate parallel port so that the computer can check the port’s individual

pins.

This test is identical to the check for the primary parallel port. For more

details, see the section describing the parallel port check earlier in this
chapter.
