Formatting a Hard Disk Option 3, Non-destructive Surface Analysis The non-destructive surface analysis does not destroy any data, and you can use it to safely check the condition of your hard disk drive. However, this test does not flag any bad tracks it detects. To start the test, select Non-destructive surface analysis from the Hard Disk Format Menu. You see these messages: Analyze Hard Disk Read/Verify check for all tracks... Current cylinder is nnnn As the program checks each track, it decreases the cylinder numbers to zero. When the test is complete, the program displays a report on the status of the disk, such as the following: Analysis finished. Count of tracks flagged bad =P Count of tracks with read, verify errors = n count of good tracks No read, verify error was detected. If the program finds errors, the screen displays a table of the tracks that produced the errors. Then you see this message: Press ENTER to return to the menu. Check the information displayed. Then press Enter to return to the Hard Disk Format Menu. Exiting the Program To leave the Hard Disk Format Menu, select Exit. You see the operating system command prompt. If you formatted the hard disk or ran the destructive surface analysis option, you must now prepare your hard disk for use with your operating system. See your operating system manual for instructions. B-30 Epson NX Service Manual
