CHECKDISK
The CHECKDISK program performs a non-destructive, fast, read-only
surface analysis of a formated, labeled disk. CHECKDISK will avoid
previously detected bad blocks on a labeled disk, reporting only
errors which are not known.
Run the CHECKDISK program by typing:
X CHECKDISK
The CHECKDISK program will ask for the disk unit number to check.
The disk must have been previously formatted and labeled with the
RECOVERY program. Next the program will ask for the number of
passes desired. Normally a single pass is sufficient but for
internal or testing purposes several passes may be desired. The
program will then ask if you want error information displayed for
all defects or only previously undetected defects. Normally only
previously undetected error information is desired but at times
all information is useful.
Once the program begins it will display the current cylinder number
constantly and print a pass counter at the conclusion of each pass.
The time required for a pass is dependant on the disk but may be
calculated as follows:
((C*H*S)/16)/R seconds
where:
C = number of cylinders
H = number of heads
S = number of sectors
R = spindle revolutions per minute

((842*20*48)/16)/3961 = 12.75 minutes
