Media Analysis Utility - American Megatrends 43 Series User Manual

Media Analysis Utility

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 screen appears.
