Note

Be sure to insert a blank diskette that has been formatted

using the MS-DOS FORMAT command before you run the

Diskette format test. Then use that diskette when you run

any of the other destructive tests. Check that you have

inserted the correct diskette before you enter Y at the

Proceed

prompt.

You see the following prompt before the program performs a

test:

Diskette drive

(A/B) ?

If necessary, type the drive identifier and press Enter. (If you

have only one diskette drive, drive A is already entered for

you.) Press Y and Enter at the Proceed prompt to begin the

test. Press

and Enter to return to submenu.

Note

When you are finished running any of these tests on the

test diskette, you must reformat it using the MS-DOS

FORMAT command before you can use it with MS-DOS.

Floppy Disk Error Messages

The diagnostics program displays two types of error messages

while testing a diskette drive: messages the program generates

and those the controller generates.

The program may display the following error message during

the Disk change line test:

Warning

- Change line inoperational

This message appears if the line is not working properly and

may indicate a problem in the drive or its controller.
