Floppy Disk - (FDC.EXE)
NOTE: | This test requires a formatted floppy disk to be inserted in the floppy drive. |
The Floppy Disk test checks for the presence of a floppy drive with a floppy disk. If a floppy disk is not present in the drive, the test will prompt for one. At this point, a floppy disk must be inserted to continue (a reboot is necessary to abort at this stage). The sectors on the floppy disk are then tested. A complete test (100% of the sectors) takes about 1 minute and 38 seconds.
