The Device Help category is the educational section of online Help. It describes the
function and purpose of the highlighted device in the Device Groups. For example,
the following information appears when you select the Device Help category
for Diskette in the Device Groups list:
Diskette drive A:
The diskette disk drive device reads and writes data to and from
diskettes. Diskettes are flexible recording media, sometimes
contained in hard shells. Diskette recording capacities are
small and access times are slow relative to hard disk drives,
but they provide a convenient means of storing and transferring
data.
!
The Test Help category provides a thorough explanation of the test procedure of each
presently highlighted test group subtest. An example of the Diskette subtest
Diskette Drive Seek Test is as follows:
Diskette drive A: - Diskette Drive Seek Test
This test verifies the drive's ability to position its read/
write heads. The test operates in two passes: first, seeking
from the beginning to ending cylinders inclusively, and second,
seeking alternately from the beginning to ending cylinders with
convergence towards the middle.

The Versions Help category lists the version numbers of the subtests that are used
by the Dell Diagnostics.
