Bad track list
DIAG displays the following prompt for the bad track list:

Entering the bad track list is optional. If you respond Y to the
above prompt, you see the following menu in a pop-up window:

You do not need to enter a bad track list for the hard disk that
comes with the Equity LT-286e.
When you execute the Media Analysis test, DIAG
automatically marks the bad tracks when it formats the hard
disk.

ending cylinder numbers:

highest cylinder number of your hard disk. For a 20MB hard
disk drive, the highest cylinder number is 614. For a 40MB hard
