The following table defines all the currently supported DFT error codes.
DFT Error Codes
| Codes | Description |
| 0x00 | No Error. Command complete successfully. |
| 0x10 | Test aborted by user. The current test was cancelled by user and cannot be completed. Rerun the test to conclusion |
| 0x20 | Selected device not present. The selected device could not be found on the selected port. Check cabling and HDD connectors. If the drive is not seen by the BIOS or is not spinning |
| 0x21 | ATA Master device not present. An attempt was made to test an ATA Slave device, but an ATA Master cannot be detected. A Master must be present to test a Slave. Check cabling and HDD connectors. |
| 0x22 | Device Protected, Selected device is protected by a password. The drive is write and read protected and cannot be tested |
| 0x23 | Format Degraded. A SCSI low-level format was interrupted. |
| 0x30 | Out of memory. There's not enough memory to execute this program. |
| 0x31 | Wrong parameter. There is a wrong or unknown parameter. |
| 0x33 | Function cannot be executed on this device. |
| 0x40 | System interrupts the current operation. The System has interrupted the current operation, and the function was aborted. Please exit the program and check if any Power Saving Modes or Cache Programs (like SMARTDRV.EXE) are active. Disable those features and start this program again. |
| 0x41 | Bad cable. A data miss compare was detected during the cable test. |
| 0x42 | Drive temperature problem. The drive has exceeded the drive temperature limit |
| 0x43 | Pending SCSI request. The ASPI Device driver could not complete the SCSI request block. Check the SCSI configuration (cabling, termination, Ids etc.). |
| 0x44 | System Vibration The level of vibration that the drive is experiencing is excessive, check the mounting of the drive in the system and ensure it is rigidly mounted. If possible try mounting the drive in a different position. |
| 0x45 | Low System Performance |
| 0x70 | Corrupted Sector. A general hard disk drive problem was detected. You can run the Erase Disk/Sector Repair utility. If a subsequent test fails again, the drive is defective and should be replaced. |
| 0x71 | Device not ready. The selected drive is not ready for operation. Check cabling and HDD connectors. |
| 0x72 | Device S.M.A.R.T. Error. The Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) has detected a drive problem. The drive may fail soon and should be replaced as soon as possible. |
| 0x73 | Device damaged by shock. This device was damaged by an excessive shock |
| 0x74 | S.M.A.R.T Self-test failed An error was detected during S.M.A.R.T. self-test. You can run the "Erase Disk" utility of DFT. If a subsequent test fails again, the drive is defective and should be replaced |
| 0x75 | Defective Hard Disk Drive Component |
