Have you backed up your data? Did you un-hook any TSR programs which read or
write the disk? (Say "Yes")
This program, IAU.EXE, will increase the performance of the hard disk in your
computer. It works on IBM PC and compatible systems.
To make a selection from any of the menus, press the cursor left or cursor
right key, and a different key word is highlighted. When you move from one
highlighted word to the next, you will see that the description for each of
these selections changes. Thus you can explore all of the selections without
having to execute any of the options. Additionally, you may use the
"shorthand" method of pressing the key which is the same as the first letter
of your choice (press the "M" key for "Measure", etc.). Also, the HOME and
END keys will put at the first and last choice, respectively.
If you are a first-time user, here is the sequence to follow. Remember: this
is a powerful program (and potentially destructive to your data), so this
procedure will minimize your chance of problem:
.1: Measure the current interleave of the test track.
.2: Determine the optimum interleave of the test track
.3: Change the interleave of ONLY the test track to the optimum value
.4: Measure (same as in step 1)
.5: If the change seems to have taken effect, change the interleave on the
entire disk.
If you had an error message while operating on the test track, there is a
possibility that the program will not work correctly with your system. If you
have problems, you may call for assistance. Before calling, be sure that you
have all the information which will help us identify the type of system you
are using. This would include computer manufacturers name, disk controller
manufacturer, hard disk manufacturer and model number, version of DOS, BIOS
version, and anything you might feel would help us.
The help line phone number is (603) 224-7081. This line is shared between voice
and data. During "normal" working hours (East coast time) a computer will
probably answer. During other times (some evenings and weekends) a person
will answer. If you have a question which can be quickly answered, we will
do so. If you are calling for the latest version of the software, we will
be happy to bring the mini-BBS up.
