Initializing the disk...
PREP will then write data to each sector of the hard disk
and read this data back to verify each sector. This is
repeated four times. PREP displays the message:
Verify: pass n, Cylinder xxx
Where
n
is the number of the current pass (1-4) and
xxx
is
the current cylinder under test.
If any bad sectors are found, PREP marks them to prevent
them from being used when the hard disk is formatted.
After the hard disk is verified, PREP displays the message:
Operation complete, press any key to exit to monitor
The hard disk is now ready to be formatted and have an
operating system loaded onto it.
