3.32 Maintenance (WinPE&FreeDos) Test Program Operation
3.32.1 . Outline
This document explains how to operate T&D that is released through TOSHIBA Test &
Diagnostic CD.
3.32.2 Outline of Specification
The TOSHIBA Test & Diagnostic CD already released includes WindowsPE T&D
(hereafter, referred as WinPE T&D) and Freedos T&D (hereafter, referred as Fdos T&D) and
either of the T&D programs can be activated by multiboot support.
3.32.2.1 Outline of WindowsPE T&D
WinPE T&D operates on the Windows PE2.1 operating system. If the CD is booted, the
operating system WindowsPE is extracted to the RAM disk in the system memory and
operates on it. (At this time, the drive is drive X:.)
T&D functionally consists of display of system information, execution of each test and
various utilities, whose test items support only tests which can be commonly used on each
model. T&D also allows you in some models to use the multitasking functions which execute
the stress test and each test never been included in it, as multitasks.
3.32.2.2 Outline of Freedos T&D
Freedos T&D is extracted as image on the CD and operates on the CD drive.
Also, if Freedos T&D can conduct a test such as the conventional memory test that cannot be
done by WinPE T&D. The test items include only tests that can be commonly used on each
model like WinPE T&D.
