3.9 Hard Disk Test

Subtest 01

Sequential read

 

 

This subtest is a sequential reading of all the tracks on the HDD starting at track 0

 

to maximum track. When all the tracks on the HDD have been read, the test starts

 

at the maximum track and reads the tracks on the HDD sequentially back to track

 

0.

 

Subtest 02

This subtest writes unique address data to each sector of the HDD track-by-track.

 

The data written to each sector is then read and compared with the original data.

 

There are three ways the HDD can be read:
