Media Analysis - American Megatrends Baby Voyager User Manual

Media Analysis

Media Analysis performs a series of tests to locate bad or damaged
tracks on the hard disk as a result of aging or poor handling. This utility
locates all bad tracks and lists them in the Bad Track List Box. Since
this test writes to all cylinders and heads on the hard disk to verify any
bad tracks, the test requires several minutes to complete. For best
results, run this test in its entirety. Media Analysis does not work on
IDE or SCSI drives.
Select Media Analysis from the main Hard Disk Utility Menu and press
<Enter>. The following prompt appears.
