Long Drive Self Test – This test is more comprehensive than the Short Drive Self Test as it checks each and every sector on the drive.This test is completely data safe and can take 20 to 90 seconds to complete. Short Drive Self Test – In this test the drives run a thorough diagnostic routine that is built in to the hard drive’s firmware.Almost any hard disk health monitoring utility can perform this test. SMART Check – It’s the most basic test where the status of the hard disk is determined from the S.M.A.R.T monitoring feature built in on the disk.There are issues and workaround for drives beyond 2 TB but it is easier not to go beyond such capacities in the first place. I recommend using modern SATA drives, XP detects them fine and can handle large capacities.

FDISK, the partition utility that ships with DOS and early version of Windows cannot handle more than 64 GB, even if the BIOS supports larger drives.įor Windows XP you do not need to worry about any of this. Strange things happen when you use DOS or early versions of Windows to partition larger hardrives, for example a 320 GB drive.

Most BIOS support 32 GB and so do DOS and early versions of Windows. This makes them perfect for retro gaming PCs. I use SeaTools for DOS to put a 32 GB capacity limit on modern drives. I have tested it with various Seagate and Samsung drives, quite recent ones as well with 2TB capacity. The DOS version of SeaTools should support Seagate, Maxtor and Samsung drives. Use an image burning software to burn it onto a blank CD-R.
