Disk Test/Clean
WARNING: This test destroys all data on the disk and should not be
attempted on a good disk. Also note that this test may run
approximately 1 1/2 hours depending on the disk size.
To run the Disk Test/Clean Test:
1. Select Disk Test/Clean from the Device Tests menu. "Files will
be lost/Go or Stop?" message displays to warn the user that all
contents on the disk will be lost.
2. To exit the test immediately and return to the Device Tests
menu, press Return/Stop. To continue with the test, press Go.
If go is selected, "Disk Test/Clean/BAD:000000 00%" message
displays. The screen updates periodically indicating the
percentage of test completed and the number of bad blocks
found.
3. The power indicator blinks during the test. The test can be
canceled anytime during the test by pressing Return/Stop.
Once the test is complete, the power indicator turns on solid
and a message displays.
• “xxxx Bad Blocks/yyyyyy Usable” message displays if fewer
than 2000 bad blocks are detected. xxxx indicates the
number of bad blocks and yyyyyy indicates the number of
usable blocks.
• “xxxx Bad Blocks/Replace Disk” message displays if more
than 2000 bad blocks are detected. The disk cannot be
recovered because too many bad blocks exist on the disk.
