Floppy disk (Diskette test)
After the last graphics display test, the program displays the following prompt:
FLOPPY DISK 503000
Mount the work disk(s) on the drive(s), then press
[Enter] key
[Warning : The contents of the disk(s) will be
destroyed]
If diskette drives are connected, this prompt asks you to insert a diskette
into each diskette drive you want to test. The diskettes you insert should
contain no important information because the test destroys all data on the
diskette.
The diskettes must be write enabled. For 3 ½" diskettes, the write-protect
tab must be closed so you cannot see through it.
These diskettes must also be formatted.
Press Enter when you’ve inserted the disk(s) in the drive(s). The test
begins and displays:
FLOPPY DISK TEST IN PROGRESS 503000
If there is an error, the ABORTED message appears. Write down the
highlighted numbers and press Ctrl + Break to return to the
DIAGNOSTICS MENU
. If a disk drive fails, check the following:
„ Diskettes are properly formatted.
„ Diskettes are not damaged.
Try another diskette and if there is still a problem, consult your dealer.
If you change your mind and decide not to test a disk, press Ctrl + Break
to return to the DIAGNOSTICS MENU.
Hard disk test
If the diskette test passes, and you selected to test the hard disk, you see
the following message:
HARD DISK TEST IN PROGRESS 805000
If this test aborts, write down any messages and consult your dealer. The
computer or the drive may require service. Press Enter to return to the
DIAGNOSTICS
MENU.
