Chapter 5. Diagnostic programs
Note:
The diagnostic programs are only available on computers with an internal hard disk drive and
preinstalled software programs from Lenovo.
Diagnostic programs are used to test hardware components of your computer. Diagnostic programs can
also report operating-system-controlled settings that interfere with the correct operation of your system.
There are two programs preinstalled on your computer to help you diagnose computer problems:
• Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox or Lenovo System Toolbox, depending on your operating system (used
when you are running the Windows operating system)
• PC-Doctor for Rescue and Recovery (used when you cannot start the Windows operating system)
Notes:
1. You can also download the PC-Doctor for DOS diagnostic program from http://www.lenovo.com/support.
See “PC-Doctor for DOS” on page 38 for detailed information.
2. If you are unable to isolate and repair the problem yourself after running the programs, save and print
the log files created by the programs. You will need the log files when you speak to a Lenovo technical
support representative.
