Hard Drive Capacity

 

               

WHEN AND WHERE HARD DRIVE CAPACITY CHECKED

                                 IN POST

      *    During the  POST (Power - On self - Test) process , the hard drive capacity is typic checked by the computer's BIOS or UEFI firmware. This check occurs when the computer is powered on or restored.

    *    The BIOS/UEFI  firmware reads the capacity information from the hard drive's metadata and displays  it on the screen during the initial boot - up sequence. This information is usually presented as a part  of the system summary or hard ware information displayed on the screen during the POST process  .  If there are any issues with the hard  drive, such as capacity discrepancies  or errors , they might  be reported a part of The POST  error  messages.
