Starting DiagTools from the Hard Disk Drive
NOTE
To run DiagTools from the hard disk drive, your PC must have the
correct boot (start) configuration. All Net Vectra PCs are provided with
a ready-to-use Hardware Diagnostics dual boot configuration.
If you have a Net Vectra PC, you can start the Hardware Diagnostics
from the hard disk drive. To do this:
1
Quit all applications, shut down the operating system, and restart
your PC. To do this in Windows NT 4.0, click
Start
, click
Shut
Down
, and then click
Restart the computer
.
2
When the PC starts you have the choice between Hardware
Diagnostics or your usual operating system. Select the Hardware
Diagnostics option. The Hardware Diagnostics will start
automatically, displaying the Welcome screen (refer to page 10).
CAUTION
Do not remove the
CONFIG.SYS
and
AUTOEXEC.BAT
files from the
root of the C:\ drive because DiagTools will not work without these files.
Also, DiagTools will not work if you convert the hard disk drive to NTFS
(Windows NT File System) format.
