10) TARGET SECTOR WRITE/READ-VERIFY TEST
[Test conditions setting]
Similar to test 5). Cylinder range setting is 000 *0* (Final cylinder 2).
1 Checking content
For the cylinder range, the head number, and the sector number
area set in the above, write/read/verify is made.
When the write/read test is completed in the set range, it is counted
as 1 pass.
In case of an error during the above test, a retry is repeated up to
the set number of retries. Everytime an error occurs a retry is per-
formed up to the set number of retries and, error logging is made.
Logging is made for HD and DRAM.
When the "Error Stop" is set in the test condition setting, if an error
occurs during the above test, the error display is shown and the test
is interrupted. Press the space key to resume the test.
When the "Continue" is set, even if an error occurs, the error display
is made but the test is not stopped.
When "1 Pass" is set, a series of tests is made only once.

When data writing, WRITE is displayed in the
data reading, READ is displayed.

11) HD PATCH TEST (UTILITY)
[Test conditions setting]
Similar to the previous 6). The cylinder range setting is 000 0 (Final
cylinder 2).
1 Checking content
The sector set in the above is displayed on the screen in the unit of
256 bytes.
Hex data and ASCII characters are displayed.
By key operation, the following 256 bytes data or previous 256 bytes
data can be displayed.
After changing data on the screen, data is written to the selected set
position.
2 Display
Similar to test 6). Data in the HDD can be patched.
Patching is made as follows:
To patch data in the HD, change data on the screen.
(Move the cursor with 2 , 4 , 1, 3, keys and enter data with 0 ~ F
key.
Then select "Yes" in "Up data ? [Yes/No]" and press Enter key.
(Move with 1 key.)
With the above procedure, patch is made.

12) ERROR LOGGING AREA CLEAR
1 Checking content
The last cylinder area in the HD is cleared with 00H.
(Error logging area: last cylinder, all sectors of 0 head)
The areas to be cleared with 00H is the last cylinder and all the sec-
tors of 0 head.
