Read, Verify Check 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 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 no bad tracks, you see: BAD TRACKS READ ERROR TRACKS ....... GOOD TRACKS 0 0 2460 Press ENTER to return to the menu Press Enter when you have viewed the table. If the results show BAD TRACKS on your disk, it is all right because those tracks will not be used. If, however, the results show any READ ERROR TRACKS, run the Destructive surface analysis described in Appendix D. Run All Above Checks 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 drives 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. Performing System Diagnostics C-33
