7-7-2-4 CD/DVD Drive Test
NOTE: Although the global aspect of the diagnostics allow for DVD testing, the LOGIQ™ P6/P6 Pro does not
have a DVD drive.(Option)
• DVD/CD-ROM Test (All) - The CD-ROM/DVD test examines the CD-ROM/DVD drive to make sure
it is working properly. You may use either a data CD-ROM disk or a DVD disk for these tests. You
cannot use an audio CD, such as a regular commercial music CD, with this test.
NOTE: The PC is sometimes slow in recognizing a newly inserted CD-ROM/DVD disk. It is best to wait a few
seconds after inserting a disk into the drive before you run any tests.
There are two types of CD-ROM/DVD tests:
1.) Seek Tests: Ensures the drive can access all locations on a disk, and
2.) Read Tests: Ensures the drive can read all the data.
• DVD/CD-ROM: Linear Seek - Tests that all locations can be accessed on a CD-ROM or DVD disk
in a linear fashion, starting from the first to the last.
• DVD/CD-ROM: Random Seek - Tests that all locations can be accessed on a CD-ROM or DVD
disk randomly.
• DVD/CD-ROM: Funnel Seek - Tests that all locations can be accessed on a CD-ROM or DVD disk
in a funnel fashion, starting from the first then moving to the last, then, at the next pass starting from
the second location then moving to the next to the last, and so on
• DVD/CD-ROM: Linear Read - Reads the data on the CD-ROM or DVD in a linear fashion, starting
from the start to the end.
• DVD/CD-ROM: Random Read - Reads the data on the CD-ROM or DVD randomly.
