Erase Disk / Media test - Kris - 07-25-2014

Hi Jim,

Is it possible to modify the soft so as to have the media test performed during erasing or automatically started after erasing disk ?
Thank you.

Regards

Not sure what you mean.... the media test is something that you should perform on any floppy disk that you have a question about its reliability.


RE: Erase Disk / Media test - Kris - 07-26-2014

I understand what is the media test, I mean that when we erase a disk, it could be interesting to have the test performed while erasing to be sure that the disk is also in good condition....


RE: Erase Disk / Media test - admin - 07-27-2014

Do you mean erasing before writing each track?


RE: Erase Disk / Media test - Kris - 08-08-2014

No, I mean erasing and checking each traks to be sure that the disk is not dead.

This is exactly what the media integrity test does. Do you mean doing this test during the copying procedure?


RE: Erase Disk / Media test - Kris - 08-10-2014

Yes, during copying or erasing procedure; it could be helpful.

The track is already erased if you select the "wipe track" option. I guess I could make this a test track option instead.

Good idea Smile
