following hard disk formats and check:
1.
All track FORMAT
2.
Good track FORMAT
3.

NOTES: The contents of the hard disk will be erased when subtest 02, 03, 04, 05, 06,

hard disk to floppy disk.
1. If MS-DOS 6.22/Windows for Workgroups is selected, use the Master
Diskette Creator (MDC) utility in the Toshiba Utility folder to back up the
preinstalled software. After backing up the preinstalled software, use the
BACKUP command in the Toshiba Companion Utility to back up the
entire disk, including the user's files.
2. If Windows 95 is selected, check to see if the Microsoft Create System
Disks Tools (MSCSD.EXE) still exists in the System Tools Folder. (This
tool can be used only once.) If it exists, use it to back up the preinstalled
software, then use the Backup utility in the System Tools folder to back up
the entire disk, including the user's files.
Refer to the appropriate instructions for each operating system.
