Updating a Device’s Driver
The hard drive in your Power Computing computer was initialized with
the latest FWB hard disk driver. You do not need to update your hard disk
driver on preinstalled drives. If you are using a SCSI hard drive which has
an older FWB Hard Disk ToolKit PE™ hard disk driver or if you have other
hard drives you want to update with the FWB driver, then you should
update the driver. See Updating a Device’s Driver in the online manual
for details.
Testing a Device
Testing a device means checking it for bad blocks. Any bad blocks found
during a test will be replaced by spare blocks on the device so that data
cannot be written to unreliable areas (the bad blocks) on the device.
You cannot test a device that contains the startup volume.
To test a device:
1. In the Selector window, select a device.
2. Click the Test button in the toolbar.
OR
Drag the desired device and drop it on the Test button.
OR
From the Devices menu, choose Test.
