Auto Interleave Utility

Auto Interleave calculates the optimum interleave factor through trial
and error by measuring the transfer rate for four different interleave
values. To determine the best interleave factor, the system formats a
portion of the hard disk for each transfer rate calculated. The
cylinders, heads and sectors formatted for each value is displayed in
the activity box. Auto Interleave does not work on IDE or SCSI drives.
Select Auto Interleave on the main Hard Disk Utility Screen and press
<Enter>. The following appears.
The cursor is on Mark Bad Tracks. The default is N. To mark additional
bad tracks, type Y and press <Enter>. After selecting options from the
Bad Tracks Edit Menu, press <Esc>. Type Y and press <Enter> to proceed
with the Auto Interleave process. A warning screen appears. Press
<Enter> to return to the main Hard Disk Utility screen. To proceed, type
Y and press <Enter>.
