Running diagnostics tests
There are four ways to run the diagnostic tests.
1. Using the cursor movement keys, highlight Run Normal Test or Run Quick
Test from the Diagnostics menu and then press Enter .
This will automatically run a pre-defined group of tests from each test category.
Run Normal Test runs a more extensive set of tests than does Run Quick Test
and takes longer to execute.
2. Press F5 to automatically run all selected tests in all categories. See

selected tests in that category. See

4. Using the cursor movement keys, highlight a single test within a test category,
then press Enter . This will run only that test.
Press Esc at any time to stop the testing process.
Test results, (N/A, PASSED, FAILED, ABORTED), are displayed in the field beside
the test description and in the test log. See “Viewing the test log” on page 23.

A selected test is marked by >> . Pressing the space bar again de-selects a test

Using the IBM Product Recovery CD
The IBM Product Recovery CD is provided with the computer so that you can
reinstall the operating system, preinstalled applications, and device drivers in case
of a hard disk failure or other damage to files.
Note: The Product Recovery CD is only available as a FRU.
To use the IBM Product Recovery CD, place IBM Product Recovery CD in the
CD-ROM drive, then shut down the operating system and turn off the computer.
Turn on the computer and the Product Recovery program will begin. If the CD does
not start, you may need to change the primary startup sequence.
Recovering the operating system and support software
Attention: The recovery process deletes all information stored on the primary
partition (drive C), including any personal files, data, and software stored on the
hard disk drive. If possible, back up the data before starting this process.
The IBM Product Recovery CD for Windows 2000 Professional contains a Windows
98 startable CD image that copies files from the CD to the hard disk. The CD
initially runs Windows 98 DOS, and then installs Windows 2000 Professional.
