Solving Problems

.co

ll.c

Runs a diagnostic test on your

SCSI

hard drive(s). The diagnostic

test does not cause data loss. However, you should back up any

important data before you run the test.

NOTE:

The SCSI hard-drive diagnostics are intended for computers with

SCSI hard drives and will ignore IDE hard drives.

• Option 5 – Network Adapter Diagnostics/Configuration

Configures the resources and settings for the integrated

network

adapter

. It also allows you to run MS-DOS–based diagnostics on

the adapter to help solve problems.
For more information on this utility, refer to the 3Com

documentation provided with your computer.

• Option 6 – Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility

NOTE:

The RAID configuration utility is not for use with your computer.

• Option 7 – Video Diagnostics

Displays a list of video controllers that can be installed in your

computer and then runs diagnostic tests on the video controller

you select.

NOTE:

To find out what video adapter you have, click the Start button,

click

Settings

, click

Control Panel

, and double-click the Display icon. In

the

Display Properties

window, click the

Settings

tab. For Windows, the

video adapter is listed. For Windows NT, click

Display Type

to list the

video adapter.

After a diagnostic test runs, it tells you whether the test passed or

failed. You can isolate the part of the video subsystem that is

experiencing a problem by determining which tests pass or fail.

• Option 8 – Copy Hard Drive Controller Drivers to Diskette

Allows you to select and copy to diskette hard-drive controller

drivers appropriate for your computer. You can then manually

install the drivers that are not natively supported by the OS.

• Option 9 – Exit to DOS

Exits the main menu and returns to an MS-DOS prompt, at which

point you can remove the ResourceCD and restart your system.

Select

Option 2 – Dell Diagnostics

After the diagnostics load, the Dell Diagnostics main menu appears:
