Hitachi seems to have broken IBM/Hitachi Drive Fitness Test (DFT) 4.03
(dft32_v403_b00.exe). DFT 3.73 (dft32_v373_b25.exe, circa 8-24-2004)
worked fine for me. But version 4.03 crashes while "detecting devices"
on one of my machines (an old 166 MHz Pentium with 64 MB memory and a
40 GB W.D. HDD).
Compounding the problem, there's a ">nul" on the final autoexec.bat
line, which hides the error message that would otherwise be displayed
when DFT crashes. Remove the ">nul", and here's what I see:
UNHANDLED EXCEPTION 0D at 0807:12C0 Error code: 0000
AX = 000D BX = 179E CX = 00FF DX = 0170
SI = 0000 DI = 9212 BP = 0FA6 SP = 0F98
CS = 0807 Limit =12F0 segment #62 of K:\DFT.EXE
DS = 0A6F Limit =E72C segment #91 of K:\DFT.EXE
ES = 0A6F Invalid segment
SS = 0A6F Limit =E72C segment #91 of K:\DFT.EXE
- 0807:12B8 00 8B 56 06 C4 76 08 ED 26 89 04 46 46 E2 F8 ED
A:\DFT>
Does anyone know what is causing this?
