Using Computer Checkup (TEST) or View System Information (INSPECT)
✎
Before you run Computer Checkup (TEST) or View System Information
(INSPECT), you must create a diagnostics diskette. See “Create a Diagnostics
Diskette” for instructions.
1. Reboot your computer from the diagnostics diskette you have created. Press Enter to bypass
the title screen, if necessary.
2. Select either Computer Checkup (TEST) or View System Information (INSPECT).
When running TEST:
1. Select the option to view the device list. A list of the installed hardware devices appears.
2. Verify that TEST correctly detected the devices installed. This utility will detect all devices
manufactured by Compaq; devices from other manufacturers may not be detected.
❏
If the list is correct, select OK and go on to step 3.
❏
If the list is incorrect, be sure that any new devices are installed properly.
