Pc-Check Windows Optical Media Erase Test Failure Information

Group Number 620X

Device Optical

This is a group that tests optical hardware: CDR, CDRW, DVDR and DVDRW. There are a number of tests within this group covering reading, writing and Mechanical stress. Write tests are also available for both ISO images and simple directory transfer.

Supported Media

Assuming the media is supported by the device under test, the following media are supported:

CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW

DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-DL

The following media are not supported: CD-Audio (All types), VCD, SVCD DVD-Audio (All types), DVD-Video (All types), DVD-RAM The tests does not currently support Blue Ray or HD DVD devices.

When testing on a DVD drive the test requires there to be DVD media in the drive with sufficient data for the test to be run. If the media is a CD then the tests will not be available, this also happens if the DVD does not have enough data for a good sample.

If there is no media in the drive and the user setting is interactive the media will be requested if no media is inserted a test failure will result. In non-interactive mode this will result in the test not being available.

NOTE: It is very important during the tests that no other applications are also reading the media as this may affect the test result.

Test Number 304

Media Erase

Tests the devices ability to erase an erasable disc. A device or medium fault will cause this test to fail. Test medium must be erasable and supported by the device.

Estimated Test Time Dependent on the amount of data on the media.

PARAM3: Eject or Reload Disc

Eject or Reload disc after test.

ERRORCODES & TROUBLESHOOTING

The medium inserted is too small to give meaningful results. CODE=0x00/00A

TROUBLESHOOTING0: The media is too small to perform this test. Review the available media and make a different selection as appropriate.
