Verify Disk Media — This option runs a utility that allows you to scan the media of
a hard-disk drive for defects. If the utility finds bad blocks on the media, it
prompts you to reassign them; if you select Yes, those blocks are no longer used.
You can press <Esc> at any time to exit the utility.
To exit SCSI Select , press <Esc> until a message prompts you to exit. (If you changed
any 78 xx series host adapter settings, you are prompted to save the changes before
you exit.) At the prompt, select Yes to exit, and then press any key to reboot the com-
puter. Any changes you made in SCSI Select take effect after the computer boots. (You
can select No at the prompt if you are not ready to exit SCSI Select .)
