Страница: 17 / 52

* Store the grown defect list discovered during drive verification.
* Format the grown defects as bad sectors.
Extended: The Extended version of AutoFormat will use the write and verify
command instead of the verify command, as in the Brief AutoFormat. The rest
of the sequence and the commands are the same as in the Brief AutoFormat.
Because the controller will write a few different patterns to the drive and verify
each pattern, the Extended AutoFormat will take much longer to prepare the
drive.
Brief-N: This option will perform all the steps as in "Brief" but will also
perform the following:
*
Scan the entire disk and create the defect list structure compatible with
Novell.
Extended-N: This option will perform all the steps as in "Extended" but will
also perform the following:
*
Scan the entire disk and create the defect list structure compatible with
Novell.
Defect List: The user can manipulate the defect list manually, if so desired. The
defect list field allows the user to retrieve the defect list from the ESDI drive, add a
defect entry, delete a grown defect entry, store the manually entered grown defect list
to the drive, and clear the screen.
Note: If a defect lo/- 15 bits around it falls between 2
sectors, BOTH sectors will be marked as bad. Thus, it is possible
for the controller to report more defect sectors than the number of
defects shown on the drive, even with no grown defects found.
This extra precaution is designed to provide a more reliable
defect free drive.
Retrieve: Retrieve the factory defect list and the grown defect list (if any)
from the drive.
Add Entry: Add more defects to the original list.
Del Entry: Delete a grown defect list entry. Users cannot delete the original
factory defect list. Only the grown defect list can be deleted.
Store: Store the defect list shown on the screen to the drive.
ClrEntries: Clear defect entries on the screen
Primitives: This option allows the user to get into the low level functions.
Format: Low level format of the entire disk.
