SPECIAL 20 - ERROR SCAN
This function causes the Hard Disk to go out and seek errors, and this information is
used for updating data logs.
1. Enter the Special module and key in 20. The display asks:
Use Floppy Disk
Error Log? Y/N
If you enter YES, the Emulator II assumes that all errors already listed on the floppy log
are indeed errors and checks the remaining areas of the Hard Disk. If you answer NO,
the Emulator II assumes that all errors already listed on the Hard Disk error log are
indeed errors and checks the remaining areas of the Hard Disk. YES is generally the
preferred response.
Whichever way you answer, the display then asks:
Error Scan Takes
8 mins OK? Y/N
If you decide you really don’t have eight minutes, press NO and exit the function.
Otherwise, press YES. The Hard Disk’s green light will indicate that the Hard Disk is
active and scanning for errors. Eight minutes is a goodly amount of time, so don’t spend
it staring at the Emulator II you’re better off writing a post card or two to some friends, or
catching up on phone answering machine messages.
After the scan is over, the Emulator II will not tell you whether it found any errors. Sorry
about that -- it seems that hard disks embarrass easily, and they hate to admit they’re
not perfect. However, they do keep track internally of any errors they have found, and
you can save this new error log on the Hard Disk when the display asks:
Write Err Log to
Hard Disk? (Y/N)
No one has ever answered NO to these questions, since it seems kind of silly to send
the disk on an error scan and then not have it make a note of any errors it finds. So,
press YES. This error information will be taken into account next time you format the
disk, and the Hard Disk will ignore those sections of the disk containing errors.
Whether you answer YES or NO, the display then asks:
Write Error Log
To Floppy? (Y/N)
If you select NO, the error scan operation is complete. If YES, the error log is written on
to the Hard Disk software floppy, which at this point should still be in Drive 1.
