When you select option 17 from the DEVICE LIST, you see this menu:

HARD DISK DRIVE(S) AND CONTROLLER CHECK MENU

If you specify to run the hard disk drive check multiple times, this menu does not appear and only the first three tests are

performed.

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 drive, each time you select a test you see this prompt:

Check which drive (C/D)?

Press C or D and then Enter.

Seek Check

This test checks the ability of the read/write heads to locate any part of the hard disk. This action by a mad/write head is called a seek. During this test, each head seeks each cylinder of the disk in sequence, starting from the center.

Select option 1 from the menu to start this test. The program displays the number of each cylinder it finds, counting down from 614 (for a 20MB hard disk) 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.
