Method for testing hard disk with expandable firmware interface

Abstract

A hard disk test method under an extensible firmware interface (EFI) includes the following steps: the system files of the EFI of the hard disk are backuped to the storage area in a memory; the backup area of the system files is imaged to be a real hard disk; the storage area of a non-system file is set up in the memory, which is used for storing the non-system file in file area of hard disk test; the information of the system files and the non-system file of hard disk test are obtained, and a system file list and a non-system file list are generated sequentially; the tested non-system files of hard disk test are backuped to the storage area of the non-system file when the hard disk test is executed; the system file list and / or the non-system file list are / is accessed to load the system files and / or the non-system files of hard disk test directly from the storage area in the memory. The invention can not only accelerate the seed of the test, but also can protect the system from destruction, which can realize the comprehensive test on hard disk.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hard disk testing method, in particular to a hard disk testing method under the operating environment of an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) system. Background technique [0002] The hard disk device is the main component of the computer and the most important device in the computer storage system. It not only has the function of recording data information, but also has a direct impact on the performance of the entire computer system. As a storage device, the hard disk has damaged areas or not is an important indicator of its performance. Therefore, whether it is possible to fully test the storage space of the entire disk is an urgent problem to be solved in the current technology. [0003] In the test environment of the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI, Extensible Firmware Interface) shell, when reading and writing the storage area of ​​the hard disk, when reading some sectors occupied by the Extensible Firmware Interf...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the test environment of the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI, Extensible Firmware Interface) shell, when reading and writing the storage area of ​​the hard disk, when reading some sectors occupied by the Extensible Firmware Interface system, if the normal file processing is installed If the system files are directly read and written by the Extensible Firmware Interface, these system files are not protected, so the result will lead to the collapse of the entire system

Therefore, it is necessary to protect the system file area. In this case, it is necessary to store related system files on the hard disk due to the system itself. The stored system files will occupy a certain amount of hard disk space. Therefore, when testing the storage space occupied by these system files and other files , it is difficult to achieve a comprehensive test of the storage space
