Hard Disk Drive(s) and Controller Check

Use this option to test the performance of the hard disk drive(s)

installed in your computer. If any errors occur, have your dealer

or service center check and service the drive. When you select

When you select a check from this menu, the program

determines the number of hard disk drives installed in your

computer. If you have more than one physical drive, then each

time you select a test you see this prompt:

Enter drive number ? (1/2)

Select 1 for the first hard disk or 2 for the second.

When you finish testing the device and return to the menu,

select 0 to exit.

Seek Check

This test checks the ability of the read/write heads to locate any

part of the hard disk. This action by a read/write head is called a

seek. During this test, each head seeks each cylinder of the disk

in sequence, starting from the center.
