Hard Disk Sentinel for DOS (Floppy Disk Method)

what hapens if the harddrive health is not 100% will it still work?

@ThePotkustart With or without a hard drive, it still works because essentially, you are booting this off of a floppy drive and without a hard drive, it would tell you that there is no hard drive detected--even if you had a hard drive with health that is less than 100%.

@1AppleMaker yes thanks but about harddrive if it is damaged somehow that the health shows les than 100% what will cause it? i have heart somewere that if harddrive gets eny air inside it it will brokedown almost inmediatly. i mean aint it even 0% or 100% (simple if harddrive shows like 50% of health what will be wrong with it ind can it be fixed <- long text bacause it is hard to explain)

@ThePotkustart Over time, hard drives will decay in performance due to sector count and read/write operations. Mechanical parts will also begin to wear out after tens of years of usage.

In addition, exposing the hard drive to open-air for a short amount of time is alright, but not recommended to be opened in the first place, hence the adhesive glue or similar-like glue.

Sectors of the hard drive goes bad so the sector data has to be moved to spare area. This error can't be healed
