Note:

Fixed disk advanced test (FDAT)

PC-Doctor’s (PCDR) Fixed-Disk Advanced Test module (FDAT) is a full-featured highly configurable fixed-disk test suite. The configurable capabilities of FDAT allow users to enable or disable specific tests, enable or disable testing features, control the test log detail, alter testing parameters, etc. FDAT will test for and report most commonly found errors on a fixed-disk drive and is able to test up to 128 SCSI and 4 IDE drives (up to 132 total drives). Drive information is gathered through FDAT’s enumeration of available devices and user specific configuration parameters located in the FDAT.INI. FDAT uses information supplied by these features to indicate specifically what devices are available for test, what tests are available for the device, device properties, etc. Modify the FDAT.INI file in PC Doctor for DOS to change testing parameters

FDAT consists of the following subtests and features.

Multitasking:

allow simultaneous testing of multiple hard drives whenever possible, the FDAT module is written as a set of multitasking functions. Each drive under test can run the same test or run a different test at the same time. Each subtest is written to handle a single test pass and all test variables are kept track of in a structure unique for each drive. However, when testing IDE drives, FDAT will not perform simultaneous testing of IDE drives that are attached to the same IDE cable. For example, if FDAT is testing four IDE drives on a PC, it will perform simultaneous testing on drives 1 and 3 first (master drives), then perform tests on

and 4 (slave drives). FDAT will also perform simultaneous testing on a master

and slave that are on separate IDE cables, but will not perform simultaneous tests

master and slave on the same IDE cable. This generally increases the amount

time needed to test multiple IDE drives. Another limitation of FDAT’S multitasking capability is the use of Ultra DMA (UDMA). Only one drive at a time can access the UDMA channel and the UDMA channel buffer must be kept high in order to maintain a speed advantage over other data transfer modes. In order to use the UDMA channel during testing, users must disable the multitasking feature.

Destructive vs non-destructive testing:

Most of the tests found in FDAT are non-destructive. This means that PCDR will preserve any data that is present on the tested media prior to beginning any destructive operations (i.e. write operations). However, users can run certain tests

destructive mode (i.e. surface scan tests). Destructive tests will speed up testing because FDAT does not preserve the data on the media prior to the test beginning.

Chapter 4. IBM Enhanced Diagnostics

Unlike non-destructive tests, any data present on the media prior to the test beginning is lost. FDAT allows for enabling or disabling destructive tests, as well

specifying a range of destructive and non-destructive sectors on the tested drive.

This is done through the configuration of the FDAT.INI. If destructive and non-destructive ranges somehow overlap, then the overlapped area is considered non-destructive. For example, if users specify both destructive and non-destructive ranges as the same, then the entire drive is tested as non-destructive.

Quick and Full erase - hard drive

The Diagnostics program offers two hard drive format utilities:
