Group 6202
Device Optical
This group provides tests optical media devices. Optical device that can be tested are CD-ROM, DVD or Blu-ray drives. There are tests to cover both the mechanical and data read capabilities of the drives from the pre-boot environment. If required, data write tests are available in the Windows diagnostics suite.
Note: Requires suitable data disc media appropriate to the drive type and operating mode to be tested (CD, DVD or Blu-ray).
Note: 'ROM' Data Only Media must be used and ideally of near total capacity to ensure full travel of the device head during tests.
Test Number 401
Test Name Linear Read
Exercises a drive's read capability using linear (incrementally increasing) read addresses. Success or failure of each read is monitored.
PARAM1: Duration
Time to run the test for in seconds.
PARAM2: Coverage
Percentage coverage.
PARAM3: Maximum Errors
Continues to test until the maximum number of errors is reached, only errors directly associated with reading the drive.
ERRORCODES & TROUBLESHOOTING
The test cannot be executed because something is not supported. CODE="0x00/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING1: A program error, such as a memory allocation failure. The test was inconclusive. Check for BIOS updates.
Device_ID VALUE unknown (Exceeds array depth). CODE="0x01/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING1: A program error, such as a memory allocation failure. The test was inconclusive. Check for BIOS updates.
Disc is too small to test. CODE="0x02/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING2: Unsuitable test media supplied. The test was inconclusive. Please select appropriate test media and try again. Some tests require specialist media.
Device read failed. CODE="0x03/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING0: The drive appears to be faulty. Check test media for damage.
Invalid media. CODE="0x04/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING2: Unsuitable test media supplied. The test was inconclusive. Please select appropriate test media and try again. Some tests require specialist media.
Wrong block. CODE="0x05/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING0: The drive appears to be faulty. Check test media for damage.
Bit walk fail. CODE="0x06/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING0: The drive appears to be faulty. Check test media for damage.
CRC failure. CODE="0x07/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING0: The drive appears to be faulty. Check test media for damage.
Corrupt data. CODE="0x08/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING0: The drive appears to be faulty. Check test media for damage.
