Pc-Check Windows Optical Directory Write 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 305

Directory Write

Tests the devices ability to write a directory structure. The test will write files from a specified directory source to the root of the disc. If no directory is specified then default test files are used. The test can also be set to include or exclude sub directories. Test medium must be writable and supported by the device.

NOTE: Directory structures written to disc must not exceed 100MB.

NOTE: The default '.' means that the current working directory will be written to the medium. If medium is blank default parameter values execute without error.

Estimated Test Time Dependant on the size of the directory being written.

PARAM3: Eject or Reload Disc

Eject or Reload disc after test.

PARAM4: Directory

Path to an existing directory to be written to the disc. Files in this directory will be written to the root of the disc. When left blank, the test will write default test files to the root of the disc.

PARAM5: Recursive

True sets the test to include the writing of sub directories present in the specified directory of the Directory parameter. False sets the test to ignore sub directories present in the specified directory of the Directory parameter.
