Create a Diagnostics Diskette
This option allows you to create both Setup or Diagnostics diskettes from the
diagnostics partition. To create the diskettes:
1. Turn on or restart the workstation. If Windows NT is running, click
Start, Shut Down, Restart the computer.
Immediately after the workstation completes Power-On Self-Test
(POST), which is indicated on the screen by the memory check, the
system beeps twice and the cursor moves to the upper-right corner of the
screen.
2. Press
F10 as soon as the cursor moves to the upper-right corner of the
screen.
3. If prompted, select the desired language.
4. Press
Enter to bypass the Welcome to Compaq Utilities screen.
5. From the Compaq Utilities menu, select Create a Diagnostics Diskette.
One diagnostic and two setup diskettes will be created.
NOTE
: The Diagnostics and Setup diskettes can also be created by
downloading the latest version from the Compaq website.
