Using Other Features
Other features available from within Compaq Utilities on some
computer models include
■
Manage Diagnostics Partition
■
Create Diagnostics Diskette
Manage Diagnostics Partition
Use Manage Diagnostics Partition to create, delete, or upgrade
Computer Setup and the Compaq diagnostics utilities.
Creating a diagnostics partition is normally done only to add
Compaq Utilities to a replacement hard drive. It involves
performing a low-level format on the hard drive.
CAUTION:
If utilities in the diagnostics partition are deleted, you will
no longer be able to access Computer Setup or the diagnostics
utilities from the hard drive.
Create Diagnostics Diskette
Use Create Diagnostics Diskette to copy the Computer Setup and
diagnostics utilities to two bootable diskettes. These diskettes
provide a way to troubleshoot the system if the hard drive cannot
be accessed.
