Some of the messages change if the table is full or empty.
However, the way that you add a bad track or make a
correction is the same.

To add a bad track, follow these steps:

1. Press

A.

You see this prompt:

Enter cylinder number (1 - xxxx):

2. Type the number of the cylinder containing the bad track

you want to enter, and press

Enter.

You see this prompt:

Enter head number (0 - yy):

3. Type the head number for the bad track, and press

Enter.

The maximum valid cylinder and head numbers (

XXXX

and

yy) vary according to the capacity of the hard disk.

To cancel the operation, press

Enter

without entering a value.

You see this message:

Table unchanged.

If you enter an invalid cylinder or head number, a reminder of
the range of values appears and the program asks you to enter

the value again. When you complete a valid entry, it appears in

the table and you can select another command.

If you make a mistake, move the cursor block to the incorrect
track and press C to alter the track data. Or you can press

D

to

remove the track from the table. Change the track data just

like you add a track.

Once you complete editing, check the entries in the table once
more. When you are sure the table is correct, press

F.

The

program displays a warning about the consequences of

proceeding with formatting, and the remaining steps are

exactly the same as for a normal conditional format.
