If you specify to run the hard disk drive check multiple times,

this menu does not appear and only the first three tests are

performed.

determines the number of hard disk drives installed in your

computer. If you have more than one drive, each time you

select a test you see this prompt:

Check which drive (C/D)?

Seek Check

This test checks the ability of the read/write heads to locate

any part of the hard disk. This action by a read/write head is

called a seek. During this test, each head seeks each cylinder of

the disk in sequence, starting from the center.
