    Something leftover?

    Release 4.0 build 1008, 23/February/2004 - The disk drive Butterfly seeking test mode requires the disk device driver to support the control code for supplying DISK_GEOMETRY_EX information. Some disks do not support this control code and the older control code is now also attempted. If both fail, a new error message is displayed indicating that the Butterfly test is not supported by this disk drive. This replaces the error "Unable to get disk geometry". This 'INFORMATION' level error may be ignored by editing the BITClassification.txt file.

      The seek test is for devices that have a mechanical seek function. e.g moving the read head across a disk platter.
      Doesn't really make too much sense to use this with a compact flash card.
