As the program checks each track, it decreases the cylinder numbers to zero. When the test is complete, the program displays a report on the status of the disk, such as the following:

Analysis finished.

 

 

Count of tracks

flagged bad

=

12

Count-of tracks

with read, verify errors =

n

Count of good tracks

= nnnn

No read, verify error was detected.

If the program finds errors, the screen displays a table of the tracks that produced the errors. Then you see this message:

Press ENTER to return to the menu.

Check the information displayed. Then press [Enter] to return to the Hard Disk Format Menu.
