3.11 Hard Disk Test

To execute the Hard Disk Test, select 8 from the DIAGNOSTIC TEST menu, press Enter
and follow the directions displayed on the screen. The Hard Disk Test contains 10 subtests
that test the functions of the hard disk drive.
NOTES: The contents of the hard disk will be erased when Subtest 02, 03, 04, 05, 06,
08, 09, or 10 is executed. Before running the test, transfer the contents of the hard disk
to a floppy disk(s).
If MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows for Workgroups is selected, use the Master Diskette
Creator (MDC) utility in the Toshiba Utility folder.
If Windows 95 is selected, use the Microsoft Create System Disks Tool (MSCSD.EXE)
in the System Tools folder.
1. Do not use the BACKUP command in the Toshiba Companion Utility to back up
the hard disk.
2. Have at least 35 2HD (1.44MB) diskettes ready to back up the hard disk (25
diskettes if Windows 3.1 is selected).
3. If you use MDC, you do not have to format the diskettes; they will be formatted
automatically as you use them. If you use MSCSD, the diskettes must first be
formatted.
