Identifying Bad Drives

Using the Disk Error Analyzer
If drive problems occur, a “Drive Error Analysis Needed” message will
appear in the File Manager Status tab of the Monitor Tool.
Run the Disk Error Analyzer utility when you see this message, which will
identify any drive problems in your environment. You can obtain
additional information to help you identify problem drives from the File
Status tab of the Monitor Tool, which shows the locations of bad blocks in
damaged files.
