When you click on this radio button, you can disable the "User Queries" function, and run the tool both non-
interactively and non-destructively.
Disallow (Destructive)
When you click on this radio button, you will perform DESTRUCTIVE tests non-interactively.
You will see the following WARNING message displayed:
WARNING: You have set the User Queries option to enable destructive
tests.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When User Queries is set to 'Disallow: allow destructive operations,'
some tools will perform DESTRUCTIVE tests. For example, ALL DATA on
unmounted disk drives WILL BE DESTROYED. The 'Disallow: allow
destructive operations' setting of the User Queries option is intended
for manufacturing tests only. Use of this setting is highly
discouraged.

To change the User Queries option, you must re-enter the
(verify / exercise / diagnose) options menu.
