SeaTools Error Codes






SeaTools Disc
Diagnostic may display a variety of error codes depending on the interface and
the test module that was running when the error or status occured. In some
situations when the drive is offline running a Drive Self Test, the drive will
give its own DST result code.

"Defective drive" and "Corrupted format" errors (sometimes called 03/31 errors)
can often be repaired with a data-destructive zero fill data pattern or a low
level format. Current disc drives contain thousands of spare sectors which are
automatically reallocated if the drive senses difficulty reading or writing.
Since SeaTools is read-only (data safe), occasionally a problem sector that has
not reallocated to a spare sector can be forced to do so by writing to that
sector. Spare sector reallocation is a normal intelligent drive
operation.
