I ran Norton SI 5.0 on my system and reports datarate of 0.0 Kbps.
It obviously does something wrong in its disk tests. It either uses unsupported
or illegal INT calls or uses the service track (which contains the bad sectors)
in some incorrect way.
(FYI: I use an Adaptec ESDI controller with 320Mb disk and DOS 4.01)

PS. I know English is not your native language, but you might consider to 
spell check your postings in the future. It is so easy on those unix boxes,
and makes it so much better readable.  Note this is not a flame, just a hint.
