Note
Please read the DIAG.TXT file on the diagnostics disk for detailed in-
formation about the tests.
Note
Avoid repeated running of any hard disk diagnostic utility, if you use the
Solid State (Flash) drive option. The Flash drive has a limited number of
writes to each logical sector. Repeated writes from a diagnostic utility will
prematurely shorten the life of the drive.
