- Syntax:
-
- TESTF driveletter or drive
-
- TESTF accepts either a or A: or a: as its argument, and any drive may
- be tested. The following are all valid TESTF calls:
-
- TESTF A
- testf b
- testf c:
- testf d
- testf b:
-
- The returns are as follows:

- Errorlevel Meaning
-
- 1 Unformatted disk
- 2 Drive door not closed
- 3 Drive timed out
- 4 Device fault
- 5 Disk media error
- 9 Unknown error
-
- Execution time depends on the particular drive and the disk parameter
- table for each. Generally, 5.25" floppy drives will require several
- seconds to return a result where an error condition exists, whereas a
- run for a 3.5" drive will take only a fraction of a second.
