I want to make an MHDD batch script with the following 2 commands in a row to be repeated indefinitely or 100000 times, non-stop

Code:
RST
INIT


I know how to repeat a single line a certain number of times. But how to repeat more than one line in a row?

Please advise a newbie :oops:

Here is an example that may help you:

Code:
; read all HDD modules from Fujitsu MPG / MPE SA

reset
waitnbsy

; enable VSCs

regs = $fa $43 $42 $41 $40 $a0 $c1

; get module

%modid = 0

@loop:
%modid = %modid + 1
if %modid = 256 @end
waitnbsy
regs = %modid $01 $00 $00 $00 $00 $c2
waitnbsy
%error = iserror
if %error = 1 @loop
checkdrq
sectorsto = fuj_mods\%modid.bin
goto @loop

@end:

You may like to try HDDSuperTool. It's a lot more versatile and fully documented.

Many thanks. I didn't know this software.

Unfortunately my SSD disk is so sick that only DOS can detect it. I tried many Linux tools, all of them are not detecting my faulty drive. I have to work with the drive at the lowest possible level in DOS environment.
