Select option 1 from the menu to start this test. The program

displays the number of each cylinder it finds. For example, with

a hard disk, the first message you see is:

Current cylinder is nnn

where nnn is the largest cylinder number used on the drive. The

cylinder number counts down to 0. The seek is performed by the

read/write heads simultaneously, so you see the cylinder

numbers only once. If no errors occur, the menu reappears.

Write, Read Check

This check tests the ability of the hard disk drive to read and

write data. The test writes to and reads from each sector of the

innermost cylinder of the disk, using each head.

Select option 2 from the menu to start this test. You see these

messages:

The data on the highest physical

cylinder may be destroyed by the

check.

Start the check ? (Y/N)

Select Y to continue with the test. You do not see a cylinder

count during the test. If no errors occur, the program returns to

the menu.
