Drive Self Tests (DPS)

Drive Protection System

A diagnostic hard drive self test. It scans critical physical components

and every sector of the hard drive for physical faults and then reports

any faults to the user.

Running independently of the operating system, it can be accessed

through a Windows-based diagnostics utility or through the

computer's setup procedure. It produces an evaluation on whether

the hard disk drive is the source of the problem and needs to be

replaced.

Setup during Boot

The system expands on the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting

Technology (SMART), a continuously running systems diagnostic that

alerts the user to certain types of failures
